Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Verification Letter (and goodies)

Nice catch Gary, congrats :D

Nice teamwork from the group too.

I lived on Harstien Island for 2 years but I was into SW at the time, 
now I wonder what I could have caught. I would think that catching a MW 
DU here would be about as common as a mermaid riding a unicorn
My Lady and I are looking at a trip to the West Coast sometime late next 
year or some time in early 2013 to visit family in San Diego then take 
the coastal highway all the way to Westport, WA.  Of course my DX-440 
and portable version of the active rod are coming along for the trip ;) 
I'll be interested to see how TP and DU activity holds up over this winter.
