Chinese electronic markets

[Walter Miller, AJ6T]

Richard,

Yes, that reminded me of Radio Row as well.  When I was a teenager in 
the mid-1960s my father and I used to cruise through the Radio Row shops 
looking for WW2 surplus bargains.  That was quite an experience.  My dad 
was looking for parts (meters in particular) for his boat, and I was 
interested in components for my budding ham radio station in the 
basement of the family house in New Jersey.  The BC348N receiver used in 
my Novice station came from Radio Row.  My Novice test (remember those 
days?) was administered by Sy Denby in the back room of his Niagara 
Radio Supply shop.  A Google search on "Sy Denby Radio Row" brings up 
several interesting links about Sy and the Radio Row scene.  The world 
of electronics sure has changed since those days.

73, Walt, AJ6T (now in Clarksville, TN)
