Duane and others...........This is somewhat what I was talking about.
There are so many pitfalls, that I think I'd go to a 'phone booth, call
their number and tell the operator she has one chance to take down the
information, pass the information, then hang-up.  I have 50 years as a ham,
now an Extra, a commercial license, and since I'm a retired business owner
for 35 years a lot of people know me, I too have a lot to lose.
Anyone else want to jump in?
