Before you deal with Langdon "Mac" McAlpin N4PMG

Post by w8jn »

Send MAC $3000 on a phone call and his word,and guess what happened next???? You thought this was going to be negative? NAWWWWWW Mac and I have been wheeling and dealing for years! I purchased an entire ts950SDX station from Mac. He described it as excellent. It arrived as "Almost Mint". How was it packed, you ask??? The packages could have been used as the bumpers on a demolition derby car and the equipment would have arrived unscathed! WOW...... THE BEST...... No worries with MAC !!!!

I get the joke...but if people just scan the head lines of this forum they will see what looks to be a problem with this ham when in fact you gave him a glowing review.
Just a thought.

Thanks for your comment. It is appreciated. I don't know about the rest of the hams out there, however, when I see what appears to be a negative comment, I read it. This note already has 400 "reads". Mac left me "positive" feedback and you will note that it only has 20-30 reads. Good is boring, everyone is reading my feedback about Mac because it looks interesting. When I look up product reviews on Eham, I don't read the good stuff. I only read the negative comments. I read them fully.

" I don't read the good stuff . I only read the negative comments "

What a " negative " attitude . . .

As does everyone else

Don't take my word for it. Look at the positive feedback and look at the negative. Then look at the number of "reads" on each. That says it all.

Everybody is drawn to what looks like the 'dirt' and because Paul presented it in the manner that he did, EVERYONE will see it and read and know what a great guy Mac is....... nice job Paul!

Paul,

When I noticed your Call- Sign under " Last Post ", I figured that I was " in trouble " .

(Just kidding) . . .

The " negative " attitude was simply " tounge-in-cheek " humor .

Incidentally, we have dealt with each other before .

(Successfully, I might add) .
