Re: [IRCA] On the cover of Pop Comm

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Walt and Patrick,

Thanks very much for your generous comments.

<<<    I'm a PopComm electronic subscriber, so haven't seen my copy 
yet.  Last
time someone "famous" was on a cover was John Bryant (Monitoring Times) 
all
about his Easter Island DXpedition.   >>>

Well, John certainly invested a lot of time and effort into organizing 
the Ultralight radio group also, and he probably deserves to be on the 
Pop Comm cover more than me (or else Rob Ross, Allen Willie or Richard 
Allen). Each of those gentlemen has run circles around me in ULR-DXing. 
Unfortunately I have no influence over the Pop Comm editorial decisions!

73 and Thanks,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)
