As Phil mentioned, the "little boy" was actually our little girl, who 
attended one of Bruce Portzer's get-togethers and went along on 
DXpeditions.   Sanity prevailed as she grew up however; she's in her 
mid-20's now and living in Japan, closer to the DX than to the DXer.   I'm 
not sure I could persuade her now to stand by a "transmogrified HRO" 
holding a soldering gun, hi.

I believe your copy is the second printing of the first edition, Steve; the 
first printing had a blue cover.  Phil's description of the other covers is 
accurate.
