Fellow Members:

It is not uncommon for Jan and I to receive e-mail from non-members 
requesting information or assistance related to our List, or to our area of 
interest, premium receivers.

Recently, I received an e-mail from John Nelson, technical and reviews 
editor of the World Radio & TV Handbook, asking for assistance.  John is 
presently writing a feature piece for WRTH's 60th anniversary edition about 
the advancement of receiver technology during that period of 
time.  Naturally, in searching the Internet for information, he came across 
the Premium-Rx List which is what motivated him to contact us.

In gathering information, John visited BBC Monitoring at Caversham, where 
he operated some of their equipment.  This reminded him of his youth, and 
the 'feel' of the older receivers.  Based on this, he would like to 
exchange some mail with anyone that can direct him toward the purchase 
of:  "...an RA17 as a classic; an RA1772 or 78 on performance grounds; and 
probably a 179x or 679x..."

If you can help this individual, would you please drop him an off-line 
e-mail at:   john at crew-green.com

In my first paragraph I stated; "It is not uncommon for Jan and I to 
receive e-mail from non-members requesting information or 
assistance...".   In reality it is the quality of posts and the range of 
topics that makes this a respected resource for information.  Our thanks to 
every member for making this possible.

Greg and Jan
