[R-390] Candle on a bottle of beer?!?!?!

[Don Kammer]

Hi All,

Having lived in Italy (San Vito dei Normanni), for a couple of years (using
R390As two at a time in USAFSS, along with the FLR9-V antenna), and
drinking a LOT of wine, most of which my landlord made, I cannot help
but concur (in good conscience), with Roger's assessment of the mechanics
for an exceedingly appropriate celebration, and thus, wholeheartedly
endorse the guidance he so meticulously proffered (above), in response to
my original query at a MUCH more basic level, considering my emotional
state at the time I made it.

Hopefully, that one sentence sez it all...

Happy Valentine's Day to All, and a VERY Happy preliminary Birthday to the
R390A!!!

Don
