> 1) Bob, W0AUS:  I would like to have a picture of the 10 GHz transverter 
> loaner rig you let me use in 2003, if you have one (or more).  Also, I 
> would like to know the specs on the unit, e.g. how much power output, and 
> what the gain of the horn was.  This will go into my section on the prior 
> years' experience.

> 2) Donn, WA2VOI:  I would like to have a picture or pictures of the loaner 
> WBFM rig that you let me use in 2002, if possible.  Also, pointers to web 
> sites that had the building instructions, for the sake of historical 
> documentation, and who knows, someone might still want to build one!
>
> 3) Jon, W0ZQ:  You sent me 3 photos, MVC-005F.jpg, MVC-012F.jpg, and 
> MVC-013F.jpg -- may I have your permission to use them?  Do you have the 
> original (un-shrunk) pictures? (I would like to post them in several 
> resolutions, as with my other pictures.)  Can you tell me the locations 
> from which they were shot, or the original date/time info from which I can 
> infer which stop they were taken at?
>
> 4) Bruce, W9FZ:  I would like to refer to your web page for the "Twin 
> Cities Technique" for building systems with a link on my page, so could I 
> get the URL from you again?  Also, I believe you had a web page about your 
> Red River Valley run of this year, but I can't seem to locate it now, and 
> I'd love to refer to that also.  Also, I shamelessly lifted your annotated 
> Radio Mobile map of Lake Superior (with attribution, at least), and since 
> I failed to ask for permission in advance, I'd now like to ask for 
> forgiveness after-the-fact.  I still might make my own map for this spot, 
> with "just" the paths that we worked this year, but that takes time, which 
> is something I sorely lack these days.
>
> 5) Anyone else who participated:  If you have a web page describing your 
> participation, I'd be interested in the URL so I can refer readers of my 
> site to your site via a link.  (There's my justification for sending all 
> this to EVERYONE!)
