MAKE THAT LIST AND CHECK IT TWICE.  NOW THAT YOURE GETTING YOUR STATION
SPRUCED UP, AND WHO ISNT, ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WANT TO KNOW WHAT
YOUD LIKE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.  JOEL R. HALLAS, W1ZR  EVERYONE ENJOYS THEIR
FAVORITE HOLIDAYS, AND MANY INVOLVE EXCHANGING PRESENTS.  NOW THAT YOU ARE
PUTTING YOUR HAM STATION TOGETHER, AND TRUST ME NO MATTER HOW LONG YOUVE
BEEN A HAM YOU ARE STILL PUTTING YOUR STATION TOGETHER, YOUR INTEREST IN
PRESENTS MAY SHIFT FROM GETTING A NEW SCARF TO GETTING SOMETHING FOR THE
SHACK.  UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE AUNT MILLIE MAY HAVE GREAT TASTE IN SCARVES,
SHE IS LIKELY TO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT YOU MOST NEED OR WANT FOR THE
SHACK.  HOW TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT SURE, WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT
FANCY NEW 15,000 HF TRANSCEIVER, OR 10,000 LINEAR, BUT IT IS LIKELY NOT ALL
THOSE YOU EXCHANGE PRESENTS WITH HAVE THAT MUCH ALLOCATED FOR YOUR PRESENT
THIS YEAR.  BESIDES, THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS TO GET THREE OF THEM.
FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE PURCHASES THAT COULD BE USEFUL FOR THE AMATEUR
STATION AT ALL PRICE LEVELS.  FOR ALMOST ALL CATEGORIES OF RADIO EQUIPMENT
AND UMN IS THE PLACE TO START.  FORTUNATELY COLUMN IS THE PLACE TO START.
