[AMRadio] AM Video

2006-02-27 Thread VJB
Jim thanks for the link to the AM video from 20 years ago. I am watching it now. Opening sequence is cool with all the senior Collins models, but what's the first actual rig we see? An FT-757, and who's he talking to? A guy talking about junior Collins tabletop models that don't do AM !!! ARRGH.

Larry, Maybe your tape has is a better reproduction than the one I have of the SPAM video. VHS as I recall is 640 X 480 whereas what I posted was 320 X 240 resolution. If you got a decent copy, maybe somebody can convert that to a VCD or DVD for those that want better quality video? Anybody
