[R-390] Meter Gaskets - off topic thoughts about Hank

[Steve Toth]

I remember when Hank was selling all his radios.  I ended up with a "blue Striper" R390A parts radio that I still have to get to.
He also was able to furnish those great double walled shipping boxes for the R390A's that he had made by a local charitable organization.  i still have one that has been back and forth across the US of A a number of times when I lived in Seattle and shipped and received R390A's to and from Chuck Rippel.
BTW:  Did he ever get that 80-100 foot tower up that he was planning on?

I wondered what happened to Hank Arney's large collection of R-390A bits and pieces, glad to hear that they weren't "recycled."  The only time I saw him at his home, he was barely able to get around and was not a "happy camper."  Deteriorating health is not for for the faint of heart.

Hank has been a Silent Key for quite some time now.  I bought the the
remaining 390 parts from his estate.  I do not recall seeing any meter
gaskets ... tom, N3LLL
