Chris: Nice to see your name in print again. The folks at Kristie's
Restaurant in Mount Stewart have been wondering why you don't come by any more.

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the left coast-- and it's great to have you here! You may not
recall, but I made up a 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-300WT model for you a few
years back, and would be happy to provide something similar for you again, to
get you back in "the game."

Yes, hopefully you will confer with Guy, but be advised that if you spend
serious time conversing with either of the Puyallup DXers, you may find
yourself influenced to try one of the wackiest innovations of the past few
years... "Cliffhanger DXing."

Maybe you could talk to Guy Atkins about the Elad FDM-S2 SDR,
Chris. Perseus and WinRadio are also represented in the Seattle area.
What are your antenna restrictions at your location? Any shrubbery
suitable for stealth loops or Flags?
best wishes,
Nick
