Hope it is okay to post about this, but it is a little bit radio related.
The resolution that they offered Joe would make it not much more than an
oblong shape. No details or anything like that.

I can still do the work again if anyone else finds a good source. I think I
still have the basic files on it. Joe got the runaround and spent a lot of
time visiting or calling that guy. A good laser print should bring out
reasonable detail for something that small.

By the way, since I'm venturing off from R-390 talk already, I've noticed
that a lot of members take pics of their gear. I thought I would throw in a
recommendation for the Nikon Coolpix 5700. Bought one a few weeks ago and
have taken over 1000 shots with it now. It is a fantastic camera and a great
improvement over the Coolpix 880. Thought I would throw this out in case
anyone is thinking of buying a digital camera to take pictures of their
shacks.
