I have an OLD Narco AT5-A Transponder (head and main unit) that has
been sitting in my garage for a long time. Some corrosion on outside
from Houston humidity.

I've seen AT5-As selling on Ebay -- usually for $30 - $40, plus shipping!
You might give it a whirl -- it's certainly better than chucking it!

Was the corn knee high by the 4th of July?

Ha! This has been the single greatest growing season in Iowa history. To
illustrate: The corn was OVER MY HEAD on the Fourth of July!

Never seen anything like it. For once, Iowa has been not too hot, not too
dry, not too wet, not too cold, not stormy -- heck, I have not read ONE
SINGLE COMPLAINT in the paper from a farmer yet this summer!

(Not that I actually know any farmers -- Iowa City is as urban as Milwaukee,
and more cosmopolitan than Chicago. But I see one once in a while, usually
from 1500 AGL...)

Ah, shoot -- one thing is for certain: There is no such thing as a happy
farmer. I have absolute faith that soon they will be complaining once
again -- about the depressed prices caused by their bumper crop!
