This was sent from Bob Heil and is a great article about Gonset and that great old Gonset Communicator that we all started with.I had one as a novice and did not upgrade in the one year time that cost me 6 months to get my General. I also remember the CAP using these and the CD Yellow unit.

Many of us learned so much from those early days of VHF experimenting and operating with those loveable little 'Goonie Boxes'. I still have several . I hope you kept yours and are using them ! Read on - another great career all founded upon amateur radio. http://www.rwonline.com/article/100300 BOB HEIL, K9EID (since 1956) 618 257 3000 <http://www.heilsound.com> www.heilsound.com ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
