Thx very much for the info, Lt.!  Glad to know that 7G won't be down forever 
- maybe Charlie can also be added if you get the new servers?

Yes, I do plan to get an 800 radio eventually - kinda waiting for the dust 
to settle, prices to moderate, etc.  From what I hear, I like the Radio 
Shack one, but I prefer a desktop model to a portable - think I understood 
that there may be one in the works, so for now am getting along with my old 
VHF radios.

It would be difficult to do without - I've been monitoring for years, was a 
volunteer at Hillandale (24) many moons ago, and have gotten to the point 
where I _have_ to know what's going on!

Thanks again for your response - since I have you, could I ask one more 
question?  What are the chances of a tour of the new PSCC?  I had thought, 
or hoped, that there might be some sort of public dedication or something, 
but either I missed it, or it wasn't to be...

Thx again.

Regards,

Doug Kitchener
