Thank you Jeff,

I appreciate your kind comments.  This has been my dream since 1984. 
I am working with David Weil,  the curator of the Computer Museum of 
America to maximize the display of as much data communications 
technology as possible.  We are looking into combining at a permanent 
site in the San Diego area.  Meanwhile I still hope to be able to 
assist as many folks as I can in keeping their machines running and 
preserved.

It now appears that most of our collection will in fact remain in San 
Diego.  I will be taking a few machines and radios with me to 
Illinois.  I will be spending the winters in San Diego working with 
David and the rest of the year at my new home in McHenry County, IL. 
I hope to obtain my Amateur license and communicate with you all in 
that medium.

Thanks to all for your continuing support...  the dream lives on!

Don
