I assume you are attempting to tie the Legion of Christ and Regnum
Christi to "fundamentalism"?

Neither is "fundamentalist". Maciel founded both, but neither is
"radical" in the sense that they practice a faith outside the
boundries of normal Catholic practice and worship. He, however, was a
whack job.

seems your view of fundamentalism is limited to protestants by some
private definition.

as to him being a whack job, he was much loved by the former pope. is
that a 'whack job?'


Even at that, as far as I know, Mr. Kudlow is not a member of Regnum
Christi which is a lay ministry associated with, but not controlled by
the Legion.

He's also been wrong more than he has been right.

which is why he's conservative

That's what I like about you Bob - logic and reason are your strong
suit.

Anyway...

I haven't been around in a while - how's your XYL? I assume she
recovered from the broken leg ok? Splash the Tolly yet?

not yet...will put it in the water next week...thanks for asking about
the xyl...she's completely healed and we're waiting for my return from
korea to hit the beach.


You'd be interested in this - I was cleaning out my shack the other
day and discovered a crate of "stuff" that I bought at the Boxboro
Flea Market must have been 20 years ago. Drake T-X4C, R-4C and a
TR-7. I had forgotten all about them. Boxes and manuals too. Bought
them from a guy who was active in Air Force MARS as I remember. :)

wow! beautiful rigs and worth alot of money...classics.

The good news is that they fired up ok and load just fine. The bad
news is that they still have the old crappy caps and resistors so they
are all original. Something of a conumdrum as I like the fact that
they are all original, on the other hand if I'm going to actually use
them in the various "antigue" QSO parties they really need to be
updated. And I think the finals in the T-X4C are soft - if I'm going
to change those, might as well change everything.

So the antique collection has just self-expanded. Heh. What with the
S-line I inherited from my Dad, the KWM-2, the Hallicrafters stuff I
inherited from my Uncle and my SX-100 (1A) and now the Drake stuff,
I've got quite a boat anchor collection.

Like they say - real radios glow in the dark. :)

you have quite a collection of great radios! i'm envious...
