[WARC] Elmer, is that you?

[Tom Peterson]

Hi all-

I spent the last couple of days wandering about MN quite aimlessly from 
one yard sale to the next from Winona to Redwing and back again.  
Somewhere I found a Tektronix 2213 60MHz Oscilloscope for the princely 
sum of $5.  I gave away more than $5 at the casino the night before, (I 
gave away $10 in fact, oh the horror!) so I figured $5 was a good 
gamble.  I'm home now, I looked at the destruction manual and set things 
the way it told me to, plugged it in and everything seems to work as it 
should.  The on/off button is a little sticky, but it works.  Now then, 
my problem is this:  What do I do with it?  I have no idea how to use it 
or what I would use it on.  I just know that I see them at ham radio 
swap meets so they must be essential amateur radio kit and I should 
therefore possess one.   I could use a little elmering.  I'm in no 
particular hurry, but if anyone would like to educate me a little at 
some unspecified point in the future, I would be receptive to the idea.
