Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Verification Letter (and goodies)

  Great going Gary, glad to see you got a reply back from David 
Sharp.   Yes, mine was the report from Alberta, for my reception in 
September 2004.    I was also a member of SPEEDX back in the 70's and 
80's, when he was, so he recognized my name.   Think I've only heard 
2WEB twice in the 7 years since that first reception.

73,

Nigel Pimblett
