Hi All.
Many thanks for the words of welcome to this elete band of qrp-ers. It is nice
to know there are so many interested in REAL RADIO. I hope no one minds me
sending out a general thank you, rather than an individual one, the only reason
being lack of time!
So far as commercial rigs are concerned, I and many others over here in UK,
and I suspect elsewhere, mourned the departure of the old Argonaut 515, surely
one of the best and reasonably priced rigs for the qrp-er of it's day. They
hold threir price so well here that IF one can find a rig for sale, it will
cost as much (or more!) than it did new. In my opinion it would be a geat boon
to the hobby to re-issue this model to us; I don't like the new Argo personally
and there is very little, or nothing to replace the 515, for me at any rate,
but each to his own!
I am grateful to those who offered to obtain materials for me from USA. I now
have all the help I need and will be reciprocating in the same way.
Are there any subscribers to this box in VK5?
