They were geared more towards swl and scanning than ham radio, but I believe they did carry some ham stuff. I think they were also open relatively late because I seem to recall that it was always nighttime when I was there, perhaps after work. Their salespeople were very knowledgeable too. I miss places like that. I guess the economics just aren’t there anymore, given e-commerce competition.

I bought a few things from him, like copies of "Passport to World Band Radio." I've forgotten the name of the store. I've forgotten his last name too, but I think I know his first name.
