I guess I'm just junk-box challenged due to my age and recent entry into
the HB field, but I can't currently understand why people would turn
down FREE parts! I've got a big basement! (Hope my XYL doesn't read
this list! She gets annoyed with me for drooling over trashed tv's on
the side of the road...)

Hmm...Maybe the problem with "Quality Junk-Blessed" people and
"junk-challenged" people like myself are that we need to get together
better to distribute the wealth. For example, I haven't spent much time
hanging around people with lots of good stuff, and I bet those with
stuff don't spend time with under-stocked people.
Thank God for QRP-L. It puts HUNDREDS of knowledgeable and willing
elmers at my fingertips!

Ever thankful for this list and the horizons it has opened for me...
