>> ... There were 3 local TV stations and 1 local newspaper that visited ... Don't sell yourself short ... Those media reps didn't just "show up" unexpectedly. Your club obviously has established an excellent relationship with your local media outlets - GREAT JOB! Clint Bradford K6LCS

mission fish

If anyone endeavors to make donations through Mission Fish for Ebay items sold, you might be better off just sending Martha a check. I have been "waltzing" around with Mission Fish" for several weeks and find the organization inept, innefficient, unresponsive, and simply a PITA. Your milage might be different, just my experience and opinion. still rebuilding antennas/towers, XYL etc. 73 Bob W7LRD
