But Ill say this - you're tempting me to do just that. I'll think about it. Mail arrives here at 2:30 PM. Rodger, WQ9E, lives about 170 miles southwest of me. He mialed it out on Tuesday or Wednesday. If the US Mial is effieicnt, it should arrive today. If it isn't I probably will yank one of the plate cap clips from the Scout, since I probably won't see the mailed plate cap clip until Monday. 73, Ellen - AF9J ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
