(Source: 73 Radio Row press release<\/a>)<\/p>\n

A new website designed for radio amateurs, SWL\u2019ers, CB\u2019ers and all communications hobbyists has launched on the Internet recreating the atmosphere of the famed Radio Row in New York City.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to its founder, Richard Fisher, KI6SN, \u201c\u201973 Radio Row\u2019 takes its cue from an era when New York’s legendary radio district bustled with communications fanatics shopping for surplus and used gear along Cortlandt Street in Lower Manhattan.\u201d 73 Radio Row\u2019s Web address is: http:\/\/www.73RadioRow.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The site features used radio receivers, transmitters and transceivers, as well as unbuilt kits, new\/old stock antennas, Morse instruments and station accessories of all kinds.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are crazy about radio, the same as everyone else,\u201d Fisher said. \u201cRETRO is NOWtro.\u201d For complete details, visit: http:\/\/www.73RadioRow.com<\/a> or write to: 73RadioRow@gmail.com<\/a>. Call (951) 395-1923.<\/em><\/p>\n

I discovered 73 Radio Row<\/em> right after it launched–I ordered a portable ER TiCK\u00a0Deluxe Keyer for the\u00a0very<\/em> affordable price of $26 US shipped.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20160507_073723040-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The keyer was dispatched\u00a0immediately and I received it within a couple of days.<\/p>\n

I know Richard Fisher (KI6SN) quite well and can certainly vouch for his integrity. In fact, he’s even giving a portion of 73 Radio Row<\/em> proceeds to Ears To Our World<\/a>–what a nice guy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
