Mark - 

Is this the same company that marketed the Olson line of boatanchor
rigs from 11 to 6 meters? If so, I never knew they had a franchise!
Think I have their 6m rig upstairs in the pile.

We had a Lafayette store in Berlin, about 4-5 miles from where I
lived. I recall stopping in one day to look at the stereo gear. The
manager was on the phone, so I began looking around. The volume was
low in the 'listening room', so I went over to the receiver that was
lit and began cranking the volume with little effect. The manager was
saying something, finally after about the fifth time I heard him say
"THAT'S OUTSIIIIDE!" and realized I was about blowing the big outside
speakers off their wall stands. Ooops. There wasn't much radio gear in
the place at that time aside from a few sandbox CBs.

Those guys talking about Skycraft made me wish I had found the time to
stop by while in Orlando in February for Hamcation. Never in my life
have I seen so much traffic.....
