[SOC] Radio Shack - New SOC Member?

[Kevin Rock]

   Now, now, you ain't goin' to the right RS store!  I went in to my local RS and asked the young lady for a barrel connector.  She lead me to the display and showed me their wares indicating the correct part.  I could have fallen over at that point if she had not been so perky in mentioning the other SO239 and PL259 parts!  She could not have been more than 19 years old.  Hopefully she is well on her way to regional director by now!  I was impressed and said so.  I am going back when I need adapters for my gear.  This lass has my seal of approval for knowing how to get RF into the line!
