Hello from a new old guy

Hi Group:
I talked to David B., Roscoe and David Mc while at CAF yesterday. I Googled DC DIY today and found this board. I know some members and fondly remember Phil A who built the speakers in the room yesterday. I sold him gear when I ran Sound Images/High Tech in Bethesda in the early 2000's. I also spent some time with him and heard his taller thinner hanging stats. He was a total hoot to hang around.
Perhaps member Stuart Polansky is the same Stuart who worked at Radio Shack when I did in the late 70's. We both avidly collected D2D vinyl and I went to his house near Northwestern High and heard his Magnepan MG-1's I think.
I live in eastern WV now in the woods and started Electronicman last year. This is a business where I repair and and install everything electronic from old tube radios to audio and video, antennas and computers. My business model is "I come to you for free". This allows me to avoid a big rent which would really be a waste of money here in rural WV. But with electronics and the general public it is better to see the gear in its environment which also means the customer doesn't have to disconnect it and tote it somewhere which again for the general public can be a challenge.
So that's me. I love the Three Stooges thus my moniker and I love baseball. As some member can attest I have odd musical tastes. I'm an extra class ham radio operator as is my wife and I have 5 antennas on my property here. I enjoy talking all over the world with 100 watts when mother nature (band conditions) cooperates. I have four 6 foot plus antennas for various bands I put on top of my Honda Element and an older HF hybrid tube rig that runs on 12V and uses 2/6146's for output.
