Your $20 or $30 goes a long way to further the List operation and keep the bills paid. A Lister wrote a funny message in the comments field of his Contribution today that I thought summed up the whole situation: "Worth every penny and I'm a tightwad!" Thank you to everyone that has made a Contribution so far this year! It is greatly appreciated. Contributions: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Best regards, Matt Dralle Email List Admin.

(note top billing has also changed). I recall a story from the 60's where the "truth" was told, not the whole truth but the "truth". There was a horse race with American & USSR entries. The Russian press reported while the Russian ran a perfect second, the poor American horse was next to last. They left off the part about only two horses in the race. 8*) KABONG Do Not Archive ----- Original Message ----- From: "C.

"Fire" away ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:45:34 PM PST US From: "JOHN STARN" Subject: Rocket-List: Handheld question --> Rocket-List message posted by: "JOHN STARN" My old Sporty's 200 gave up the ghost when something melted inside. It was used when I bought it 4 years ago and was well used and worked great 'til the day it quit. I'm going to buy a replacement transceiver and am asking for suggections. The Sporty's new & improved SP200A at $279.00 is larger than most of the new models but has all of my requirements. We used the old one for the radio communitions when flying the Champ for tail wheel training while building the HRII. The old one could not be plugged into an outside power source such as a cigarette lighter, the new SP200A can. The Nav part is not important but nice to have as a backup. I've read the reports but am looking for opinions and the listers all seem to have at least one on every subject. Thanks in advance. Do Not Archive KABONG
