[Stuart Bloom]

Hi,
Keep the worthless trivia coming!  I now have a
growing stable of Yaesu radios and enjoy their
history:

FT-101E (w/VFO, Landliner, FoxTango WARC Mods, AADE
Digital Display)
FTdx-100 (just got it operational)
Henry Tempo One (FT-200)
and I just pickeup up a FTdx400 (comes next week).

I love tubes, and with the Fox Tangos, I gottem.
