---------Chaz!  I stand corrected.  That was an untruth.  I should know I lived in Sacramento for 10-15 years.  Sorry, after living in S.F. all these years hot is hot is hot.  When it hits 75
here we start b-ching.

----------Again, I'm shamefaced.  Of course Iowa is one freezing iceball for 2 or 3 months but I didn't think it wise to tell Steve that until AFTER he made the move.  However the one truth I
did mention is that DX will be good (or at least better) there away from all the crap the big cities have.

----------------An added burden I'll bet he hadn't considered.  Very true tho.  However there are a number of spanish language stations in East Central Nebraska if he gets lonesome for that
sorta thing.

---------Hey Charlie, good to hear from you again.  How you holding up?  I'm slowly falling apart...one operation after another (fortunately none as serious as yours-but annoying at any rate).
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln thought the play was superb!  dkk
