[SADXA] Gary Bruins RFI Expert

[JERRY]

Looks good John. Before this is done they need to be reminded that if 
there is no action to abate the noise the amateur community has no other 
avenue for correction but to file complaints with the FCC. We don't want 
that and I suspect they do not want that either.

I will get a note off  to them shortly. Maybe even a letter the the head 
dude at TEP.
