[NLRS] DEMI Group Order & NLRS Survey

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.    

Two  pieces of business.   First, if you have any interest in participating  
in our DEMI group order, please drop me an email with what you  want.    I 
have orders from W0ZQ, WA2VOI, KD0JI, KC0IYT, W0AUS,  W0LCP, and preliminary 
input from K0BAD.    I would like to close  this order by this Sunday, October 
29th, so you have a few more days to let me  know.    PLEASE do not drop me an 
email on October  30th.   This will serve as the last notice.

Second, just as an  FYI, I have now received 24 responses to our NLRS Survey 
that I sent out a few  days ago.   For those who have taken the time to reply, 
many  thanks.   For those who have not yet replied, please give it some  
consideration.   The survey is attached below.   You can  modify & return it via 
email, or you can print it out, mark it up, and drop  it in the snail mail per 
the address indicated below.   I will report  on all findings ... good and bad.

73, Jon
