[TVARC] “Universal Radio” Closing Store

[Anthony Wayne Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC’s MailList,

Another long-lasting, vendor of amateur radio equipment —- “Universal Radio” in Worthington, Ohio —- is closing its store permanently on November 30, 2020.  See this link (URL) for more details:

I remember purchasing several items from Universal Radio over the years I lived in Ohio. Their booth at the annual Dayton Hamfest was always a required stop to shop at.  Their presence in the ham gear market will be missed but we wish the owners all the best as they phase into a well deserved retirement.

Looking back ... I reflect that I’ve seen several radio stores/chains fade away, including “Olsen’s Electronics,” “Lafayette Radio”, “Amateur Electronic Supply” (technically sold to “Ham Radio Outlet” but Cleveland store closed for good), and now “Universal Radio.” 🙁

Stay safe from COVID-19.

73,
Tony/K4QR
