Not sure why I didn't get your earlier posts. The address is correct.  
I will note that email is no longer a good method of communications,  
given that almost all is spam anymore. It might have been directed to  
the bit bucket for some reason. And the problem today is that there  
are so many places where the spam gets deleted, legitimate posts are  
often hit too, and we don't know where or why.

I get this a lot. I'm not sure, but I think I'm going to post my  
telephone number, or maybe fax number for people. Coupled with my  
erratic schedule from late April to mid August, I can look like a bit  
of a lid at times.

There is some real potential between the parties, the distance between  
PA and AZ makes 20 meters enticing, and I have been trying to  
encourage 20 meter activity in PAQP.

I have a few other requests for sponsorship going on now, and we have  
a meeting next week, so I'll look at a AZ award.
