I will echo Dean's comments. It was great to see all of you folks on Friday. 
Unfortunately I could not stay for Saturday, but there is always next year. 
I've already briefed my wife, Patricia, that we need to schedule the family 
reunion for the same weekend as Gilbert in 2009, thereby satisfying two 
requirements at one time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this was the first year we tried and 
succeeded using USB on 75M in conjunction with the Friday field exercises. 
Ditto with the 2M AM freqs of 145.365 mc. We had great WX, also. My high 
point was actually talking to someone with my BC-611 on 3885 kc!!! (Thanks, 
Breck).

For AL:

I have the manual for the R-392 for you. I also have your BB-5598U battery 
in my 628K1, which I will send back to you. Didn't realize I had left your 
battery in my rig until I got all the way back home!! Sorry about that, 
Chief.

73 All
