We know he was heard chatting regularly on the 40 and 80 meter bands. Lots of ol... READ MORE

If you go to pretty much any car company’s website in 2020, you’ll find a “build-and-price” page where you can pick colors and options for any model, see how specs look and get an MSRP.

Having recently scored a vintage Hallicrafters SX-122, one of the best Receivers Hallicrafters ever made, I was dismayed to find it was missing the HA-7 Crystal Calibrator. By themselves, they are very rare, and go for probably as much as the whole radio on Ebay when one does show up.I downloaded the HA-7 manual from BAMA (It was part of the SX-122 manual) and surmised what it would take to build ...

[ The Delphi language is proof positive that all the best things are not necessarily household names. Not only was Borland's Delphi OOP language (ObjectPascal) superior to every compiled, client-executable solution out there from vendors like Microsoft and PowerBuilder, its IDE was years ahead of its time.
