There was this ham radio vendor, who said at a ham radio gathering (hamfest) that "he was going to be the Wal-Mart of ham radio". He would go around at a hamfest, see what the other dealers were charging for items, then he'd undercut them price wise. His goal was apparently to put the other vendors out of business, then you would have to buy from him, or you'd do without. MP> * Why does pizza get to your house faster than the police?

It went back down to 97 the next day. Daryl ....
