Hi Bill,
You know, I wouldn't mind a piece of your real-estate transplanted up here. 
(The closet thing to that would probably be living out toward Bend) -just 
colder at times.  I know I'm not in Portland, but the ambient noise here 
isn't exactly minimal either. I suppose all factors have to be included for 
a "noise total"... Not counting electrical interference, it just seems 
higher than one might expect.
73- Doug
