[R-390] R-390(x) receiver shipping boxes

[w9ya at arrl.net]

Hey Tom and the gang;

Hi Hi....

Actually she did NOT want me to pack the house stuff, as she was hiring
"professionals" to do the job.

And I guess she got exactly what she paid for !!

Hi .... Hi....

P.S... Hopefully we will get back about 1/2 of what we paid for the
(botched) packing/moving job. So far we have gotten back about 30 percent.
I will be happy with 1/2.
