Hi Derek,

Great to hear from you again! How has the cliff-top DX been treating 
you?

Yes, we are already at the Oregon ocean cliff-side paradise. The two 
FSL's (8" diameter MW and 6.5" diameter LW) appear to have made the 
trip without incident. Tomorrow morning at 0345 local time I will know 
for sure!  :-)

73, Gary

Hey Gary... Are you going to the cliffs this weekend?  Where did the
