I have been noticing a trend lately that I thought I would
pass along. The June 1987 issue of QST magazine had an article
on how to turn a Radio Shack Weather Radio into a scanning
2 meter receiver. The Feb 1988 issue of Astronomy magazine has
an article that show how to turn a normal clock (the author
used a Radio Shack clock) into a sidereal clock. Now on the
surface it doesn't seem that these two projects have much in
common. The interesting point is that they both turn items from
Radio Shack into something that is useful.
