I'll tag onto Don's fine append about Scott's travel to Texas later this
month. For those of you in the Central Texas area, Scott will be at the
Central Texas DX & Contest Club (CTDXCC) meeting on Monday evening, July
25th. I believe the presentation is the same as Don documents below.
The meeting place is in downtown Austin at the Austin Historical Society
building. Details and directions are available on the CTDXCC web site:
http://www.ctdxcc.org/meetings/. All are welcome. Meeting starts at
6:45 PM sharp, and many of us get together for dinner before the meeting
at "El Mercado" which is at 17th and Lavaca (1702 Lavaca St, Austin, TX
78701-1316). That gathering begins around 5:30 PM and lasts about an
hour. Great food and fellowship. Come join us!
