Hi Don,
Thanks for the update! Wish I had known about this earlier so I could
have joined you. It has been years since I have visited the Parody Is.
chain. Happy to say that over the past 30 years I have operated from a
good number of them including Parody, Paradox, Paralegal, Paranormal and
Parashorts. I will see you in the pileups -- it is a new one for me on
Vertical Shift Rtty with CW overtones. Good luck.
