Don't bother them with mail, I expect they're only interested in the
VHF/UHF stuff that Drake's been making lately. Strictly a financial
decision. No nostalgia in "big" business.

Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Blonder-Tongue Buys Drake
I suspect it means the final nail in the coffin of one of a long list of ham
radio's great companies (and great products). It's too bad, although Drake has
been out of our business for a long time. Their legacy will live on for a long
time to come. I've passed on my B-line and C-line, and was planning to sell my
TR-7/RV-75, but I think I'll hang on to it for a while.
On the plus side, the torch has been passed to some excellent new ones here at
home ... Elecraft, Ten-Tec, and Flex. And somewhere down the line, they'll
pass on the torch .. and so it goes. I just wish I hadn't sold my 1-A last
year :-)

etc...again, brand new!
Would create some nice job opportunities......
