Chinese electronic markets

I remember the guy upstairs with the green visor.  Prices right, just too heavy to carry back to Kansas.     N0UU

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.
