Radio Shack(s)

[Frank Gentges]

André and all,

I needed an F to PL-259 adapter this last weekend to finish up the RF to 
antenna link for the IRLP.  I tried the RS at Dranesville and then at Rt 
7 in Tysons and neither stocked these anymore.

I think each RS orders stock from a prepared menu.  If they want other 
things, they can also stock them if they choose.  If we were to frequent 
a particular RS and encourage them to stock more of the parts we need, 
they would be very useful to all of us.

Given that we have an RS with a knowledgeable ham on board, perhaps we 
should frequent them for our purchases.  Seeing how almost all of the 
Radio TV parts repair houses have closed up, we should keep the 
remaining ones open with our business.  It is good you have found a good 
place to frequent.
