It's a pretty easy habit to fall back into. I know it's appreciated when we do. 73, matt W6NIA On Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:12:40 -0800, you wrote: >Way back in the early 1960's I needed to do some repairs to a National HRO50 >receiver I had been given by a great mentor, Field Gray - W6HUA (Jack Webb's >art director on the old "Dragnet" TV police dramas). > >I needed a schematic so I wrote National asking if they had a manual for the >receiver even though it was built >20 years previously. > >Weeks went by and then, one day I got a big envelope in the mail.
