Andy, I gotta admire that, it was one of the better gentle hints I have
seen in a while!
I'd love to help you go visit, and I know the locals are friendly, well,
mostly friendly, but I can't even afford the el cheapo fares from Brisbane
across the pond. Besides, I gotta save up for a HF rig, and I only got two
years before we Limiteds get to be full calls! :-)
