Quark Gemini

#1

Post by Ben Cartwright SASS »


I sold a collector gun last week (Smith and Wesson Pre-45 .22 LR Boston Police marked) and used part of the proceeds from it to buy a Daystar Gemini!

They build each one individually and it takes about a week. I know someone who is friends with Jen and when I expressed the common feeling that they use the Gemini to get rid of less than perfect etalons he said he knows her and that is bunk, they take pride in their products and put out a good filter. I have always felt that was true but you can't help but hear the Debbie Downers spouting off.

AT the same time this past week I passed my test for a General Amateur Radio License so celebrated and used the rest of the money from the gun for a new rig (radio) a Kenwood TS-590SG.

this is my current shack
