[BC] Re: In search of Harris SX1

Ok, so I was wrong about some stuff. I apologize. I got my facts wrong, and
I'm sorry.

This station is looking for what they're looking for because it is simply
best for their situation. The station has NO income right now and can't
afford a brand new transmitter, as one lump sum payment or monthly payments.

I don't think we need to discuss that, again.

This is what the station wants, it's that simple..
