    And wasn't that Vegas store a disappointment? I expected allot more and bigger! I imagined walking through the doors and being surrounded by thousands of square feet of ham radio joy. 4 shelves, some stuff hanging from the ceiling and a counter is what I found. :( Oh Yeah, a small table with some radios and other stuff on it close to the door so the street urchins could grab and dash. I parked at the truckstop that was 3 or 4 blocks away and walked in. Dirt, Prostitution waybills nailed to the telephone poles, and all manner of outlaws checking out that new box that had the big dark word YAESU printed on it while walking back to the truck.....I still got what I needed and that is what counts and I still enjoyed myself.

    The website is much cleaner.....

    Tuesday was 'DSG's birthday. AES is here at the Hamvention and I just treated myself to a brand-new pair of BC-996XT scanners.

    No one else had the units in stock and I ended up getting them each for fifty bucks under list. You have to bring things in order to sell things, gang...I can mail-order from anybody, any time.

    Congrats on your birthday haul, J!

    Steve, all the room of the store is in the back (where you cant go). Its true, thats a shitty neighborhood, but its far better than where the old store once was on Rancho, in North Las Vegas. But that area on Polaris, right off Trop, is known for being a drug/hooker/homeless/destitute, end of the line for many. Glad you made it to your truck!


    This place sucks.
