[1000mp] ROOFING FILTER

[Joe Giacobello]

Mike, I hear you on 20M all the time from my QTH here in the Blue Ridge 
in SW VA.  I was wondering where you are from in W2-land?  I've been 
retired here from Green Brook, NJ since '99... and love it.  QTH is 
close to my alma mater, Virginia Tech, which compensates somewhat for 
the cultural differences between here and the NYC area.

I also have found your posts to the reflector useful and informative.

73,
