    No, but they used to send us a lot of tsotchkes for the hamfest -- pens, bags, and such.

    They also used to beg for free advertising in the club newsletter. However, we don't sell advertising space in the newsletter, so no soap, radio.

    I was just wondering about how good an outfit they are. If I buy from HRO, for instance, I know that if I have a problem the guys at the local store will take care of me. That's worth a few extra bucks. Will cheapham.com do the same?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Couldn't tell you. I usually deal with R&L; in fact, the club just bought $1600 in hamfest prizes from them (we're going to have an HF amp as 1st prize) and they treat us pretty well.

    I've had good success in the past with Gigaparts -- for computer stuff, ironically, even though they're also a ham store & run by hams.

    Just never had a good reason to use CheapHams.

    Gigaparts has great prices on a lot of stuff. I bought an MFJ-259B antenna analyzer there new for less that what they were selling for used on eBay.
