you know what's harder, tuning a tube radio without the aid of  some

impart this pearl of wisdom:
> Well, I had an old FT-101 back in 1999, and got good at tuning that thing 
> before I sold it when I had my race car to worry about in 2000. When I got

> what the controls were and you're right it's like riding a bike. I had it
