I really miss Radio Shack.

I always remember the day I bought my DX-160 with the money I saved from my paper route at Radio Shack.

you and me both did that.

I didn’t get as much as I wanted, but always could get Time and radio America, as well as a bunch of foreign stations.

I read every page of every radio shack catalog many many times back then.

I got mine for a high school Graduation gift in the late 70s. Was listening to the BBC in August 1990 when the Iraqis invaded Kuwait. No news stations picked up on it until morning.

Wish I still had it. But, after 30 years of use, it finally died.
