[SECC] Ack radio sold

[Scott Straw]

Cole is also the owner of the parent company that runs Wizard Electronics and a Commercial AV Integration company.  I didn't know he was a Ham.

Wizard is a legendary place in music circles, or at least it was... They had the skills and resources to fix mixers, amps, speakers, and whatever else went on the gear truck for touring bands.  If a piece of equipment was busted, they knew it could get repaired during the tour stop in Atlanta.  Legend has it that Wizard had three labor rates: When we get to it, next up on the bench, and now. It may still be that way today.

I am grateful for Cole keeping Ack alive.  Professionally, they have saved me many times during a service call or installation when I needed parts, connectors, or supplies.  They are convenient to Downtown (relatively) and, since the death of Radio Shack from "cellular over-exposure", their vital role has only increased.

Mouser may be cheaper, but that doesn't help me if I need it today!

The latest GA on my mind from the GA SM says that Ack Radio has been sold and will remain in business.

Cole Harrison KA4TMK who has purchased ACK Radio Supply. Not sure if this also means Ack Radio in Birmingham or not. Tommy Atkinson ran Atlanta ad Ack Atkinson W4ECI ran Birmingham, I have a 1977 Catalog.

Tommy found me a B&W Bifilar Choke for my Henry 2K 25 years ago and had a pit full of spare Rohn hardware. John W4NU still buys parts form Ack.

So an old time radio supply lives in Atlanta.
