Did you frequently shop at your local Radio Shack store in the 90s? In August, 1991 7,000 copies of the Fall Radio Shack catalog were mailed out with an ad on page 68 that drew the attention of ham radio enthusiasts worldwide. The ad featured Radio Shack's first handy talkie. Just what HT was it? And who did Hap interview in the summer of 1991 from Radio Shack who strongly backed his company's decision to enter the VHF & UHF ham radio market? Here's a replay of part one of Hap's interview with Ed Juge, W5TOO, Director of Market Planning.
Hap Holly/KC9RP will return with the conclusion of his 1991 conversation with Ed in podcast #97.
