[R-390] FW: Regional distribution of list members

[William J. Neill]

Presumably, the R-390( ) series is properly represented in the People's Democratic Republic of Texas.

I have one R-389, one R-390, three R-390As, four R-391s, one R-392, and one R-725.  Also a 51J4 and an SP-600JX if those count.
