I have no sympathy for Bob Grove and MT. After they canned George Zeller  I cancelled my subscription and told Bob I'd never read another issue. They also fired Glenn Hauser and Uncle Skip Arey. Their downhill slide started back then. On a more positive note, Pop Comm just revived their pirate column called "COPS" which debuted in June, edited by Steve Handler. It also covers numbers stations, clandestines as well.  They are giving him 5-6 pages to work with. The July issue has a nice write up on Andy Yoder. We need to support this.

Equipment / Re: Commradio CR-1

« on: July 17, 2013, 1535 UTC »

It's a nice small portable radio, quiet [no background hiss]. I used it for about 15 minutes at one of our BAD GUYs [Boston Area DXers] meetings. Speaker is made out of a water resistant material.
 I would not want it as my main radio, but for something portable or a back up, it would be
ideal. Maybe a little over priced?  And yes, no keyboard, but in the fast tuning rate you can get around
pretty quickly.
