	Jim Mandeville (sp?) in Tuscon area; he's on the LWCA list.  Can't find
his address or call letters at the moment.  He also has one or more 4096
region transmitters scattered around the area.  Wonder where you are ? 
Here in San Gabriel AZ is a very difficult path these days although a
couple of years ago he was solid copy all day and well into the evening.

	If you're ever on Sunday mornings at 7:30 you might try joining WB6RIJ,
K7RR and occasionally others on 3927.  The group originally (20+ years
go) was larger and devoted entirely to lowfer activities but now we yak
about anything.
