Speaking of the Green Hornet, has anyone watched that movie yet? I saw it a few weeks ago, its not too shabby at all. I don't remember that radio series but I do remember listening to "The Goon Show" and "Flash Gordon" on the radio in the kitchen whilst mum and dad were making dinner. I am however old enough to remember black and white television in my younger days and I can remember when the first colour tv pictures were sent in Melbourne by the the new TV station ATV-0. (Little did I know then that later in life I would be cursing ATV-0 and others for taking up so much of my beloved 6M band!) :-)
I can still remember pounds, schillings & pence and the changeover to dollars & cents in 1966 (I was 7 years old at the time) I think that we are more than just a little off of the topic now.......... 73 de Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF East Innisfail QLD, Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron D'Eau Claire" <r...@cobi.biz> To: "'Grant Youngman'" <n...@tx.rr.com>; <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 1:34 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Old Gear was Re: KPA500 > What I find saddest is that I can't fire up my S-40 and swing down into > the > broadcast band to catch a Jack Benny program or an next episode of "The > Green Hornet"... > > So I passed it onto a younger fellow who doesn't remember those programs. > > 73, > Ron AC7AC > > -----Original Message----- > Old gear is about ... well ... old gear, and love for it.
