Bill, Yep. I followed Poro's wandering the past few years. Everything goes some- where that I cannot receive. Too much distance between here and there, anyway. I DID briefly hear Wulumqi-1525 from Indianapolis in 1976. Also, some of its Soviet jammers. Wonder if you met Charles Crismon, Foreign Service, who retired from Greenville ca. 1991. I visited Poro while in the Navy, in 1971. It was he who showed me the operations and the old Continental 105E. Imagine my surprise when I reported aboard Greenville in 1986. Bruce Hunter (still at Site C, in those days) sent me to Site B. I walked into the Plant Supervisor's office, and saw.....Charles Crismon! He, like me, developed cancer in his throat. Last time I saw him, he couldn't speak (like me). 73, Charles ----- Charles A Taylor, WD4INP Greenville, North Carolina _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
