Caption was probably written by a person to whom Ham and CB mean the same thing; just another sign of the kind of illiteracy that's so common these days.

Ham Radio Outlet - World's Largest Supplier of Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) Equipment. Sales, Supplies, and Service.
Is just one of the many places that specialize in Ham Radio sales. There are plenty more around the US and they do not include Radio Shack.
Of course K9WG being an Extra, something tells me he already knows that. :lol:
Pssstt.. Hidden from the CB'ers???...
:twisted: :roll:BTW: is K9WG a ham call or like we had at Port canaveral: a "K9 Working Group". ;-)

What about Elecraft, TenTec and other US companies that still make radios? Don't you guys want to support our economy?

Unfortunately thats a bit more economy supporting than my personal economy can afford.

Same here but don't they only make HF radios nowadays? Still have to look else where for VHF/UHF.

VHF/UHF radios from Harris would keep your money in the US and they make HF equipment also. Anyone know if the current Thales lineup is all made in the USA?

OK - boys and girls. I have an assignment for you. After I found that Radio Shack says they have Ham Radios (note: Ham Radios not accessories) I shot them an email asking "Where are the Ham Radios?". I got the following reply.....
So, your mission should you decide to accept it is to go to your local RS and ask them "Where are the Ham Radios?"

I think RS did sell ham radios before but am not sure what time period that was.
I doubt the employees at my local RS would know where to find any!
They did up 'til about 10 years ago or so.

I think we all know what the local Radio Shack reply will be when you ask them that question...... "What's a Ham Radio?"
