Charlie,

>   Does HI have a web site ? 

Ronnie doesn't even own a typewriter, let alone a computer! Any QSL's 
you get from him will be handwritten in pencil on scrap paper. Sal, 
K1RGO, visited him recently, and posted this on the LWCA Message Board:

"For an update on medfer HI : I had an eyeball with Ronnie when I 
dropped by his QTH after a bit of hiking at Webb Mountain. I got the 
tour, it was like a time warp. He is running all tubes on both the Hifer 
and Medfer rigs. The latest Medfer rig runs 2 Xtals with a 6BE6 mixer(if 
any of you can recall that good old tube)with a output frequency of 
513.5 KHz. The IDer is a motor driven aluminum wheel with pegs. Ronnie 
has no land line, cell or computer, only snail mail. His mailbox is 
decorated with high voltage insulators so it's easy to find his "shack".
