GE OMs;
I liked the smell (and glow!) of the old surplus military radios.
The knobs all over the place... The meters... The pure sinewave
sound of a cw note - not this digital junk with its squished squarewave
sound. The smell of what-ever made them work.
Funny this came up now. I just got an issue of QST. My wife asked me
how much I pay for it. I said that I got a life membership 40 years
ago. Then I started reminiscencing/complaining about what it was like
to be a ham back then - in the 1960's - and I know at that time the
O.T.s were complaining that WE had it too good. :-)
