    Get while the getting is good!

    Closest Ratshack to Casa de Shady has "up to 60%" off posters in the windows. Methinks the life support is running out of gas.

    I'll go buy out their PL259/SO239 supplies along with a few maintenance parts while the pickins are good!!

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    You are right Kevin.......someone posted a thread on QRZ that Radio Shack will file for bankruptcy on February the 1st.......

    Radio Shack disappeared in Canada several years ago.They were bought out by another company and the name was changed to "The Source"

    Check their website and you will really see no mention on electronic parts or the like.The writing was on the wall when most of our Radio Shack stores were turned into this thing called The Source!
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    Tandy folded here in the Netherlands 15 years back.
    Had the COCO TRS 80 running RTTY on 2 meters and doing some other stuff then.

    Parts were cheap as one of my friends worked there.
    Oh well...

    here in SF some stores were marked for closure well in advance of the holiday season. i'm not sure they have anything i want (well, maybe a new scanner ... but those probably won't be well priced).
