[R-390] Anyone Interested in R-390(A) Shirts ?

[Michael Melland]

Guys.... this is pretty loosly R-390A related but here goes...

Besides our "regular" jobs my wife and I own a custom computerized
embroidery company.  We generally don't do retail sales.... we mostly
service emergency services (police, fire, ems) and other businesses (we are
the authorized provider for Elecraft, for example).  Heck... we even do some
amateur radio related embroidery 'cause I wanted some cool shirts for fun
and wanted my wife to go to a few hamfests with me <grin> why I don't
know.... hehehe

Anyway... I've been considering taking the line drawing of the R-390A from
the manual and converting it to stitches (digitizing) for embroidering on
shirts (probably golf shirts and jean shirts although anything is possible).
Who did the art on the Y2K manual ?  I'm very careful about copywrited
material and think I'll need permission.

I could do several sizes although pocket size is best for "dressy" shirts
and keeps the stitch count low so it's pretty cheap to do.... we can even
personalize with names and other info.  The most detail actually would be
"jacket back" size but this would be more expensive to sew out.

Would anyone be interested in a shirt like this  ?  It's not inexpensive for
me to set up a design digitized and set to go depending on the art work.  I
may be able to digitize the design myself depending on how complex I want to
get.  Lettering needs to be at least .25" to be very legable so small sizes
the control letters would be a squiggle I suspect.
