Default Boy are we lucky! Universal Radio is still around

The news today tells of an Al Quaida plut to blow up a shopping center in
suburban Columbus Ohio. They got the guy. Universal, athough not in a shopping
center (in fact it IS a shopping center for DXers), might have been damaged.

And their area was the locale for the freeway shooter last year who killed at
least one motorist.

And I bet Fred thought he'd be safe out there!

I'm glad they stopped the lunatic, but I have no love for Universal Radio.

They NEVER have anything in stock, and offer the WORST customer service in
the industry.

If you don't mind waiting, their prices are worth it!

Strange, my experiences have been uniformaly different.
They know everything...oh maybe no individual, but they always transfer me to
some who does know the answers.

As to stock, on several occasions they were out of something weird, but told me
when it woud be in stock again. It always arrived at my front door before then.

Both major suppliers (Grove is the other) bend over backwards...you get the
feeling they're hobbyists too. Neither is very tolerant of being "jerked
around", but they go overboard to help novices in the hobby. Universal has a
much larger stock (get their print catalog and see).
