Doan wurra much, Tom. Pierre Goral passed away recently to join
his deceased partner in SGC, Don Stoner. Puget Sound (where SGC
is located) is way away from your part of the country. Easterners
probably think that Puget Sound and eastern Washington isn't part of
the USA. :-)

Sorry to hear about the owners ...the fellows I have heard on more that one
occasion mentioned Icom 706s ..oh well ... Len I am thinking of going to the
Pacific NW this summer for some sight seeing. My dad was stationed up at
Ft. Lewis and I would like to see that area. He said it was the most
beautiful place he has ever been. I always considered the PNW to be part of
the US ...now Calif ????

Lots of HF bandspace is there in the spectrum...but hams can't legally
use frequencies outside of their allocated narrow bands.

Boy Len you surely have taught me a lot by that profound statement ....
shoulda used as string of BTs if you were reaching for a coffee or
scratching or something .... I for one find a lot of elbow room in those
"narrow bands"





The SG-2020
will tune to the whole of HF. Them tuna catchers in your part of the
country (?) won't mind a bit if you enjoy your cow. Mad.

Ham burghers? Moo bettah. :-)


Na Pitts ...burghers ..... No tuna here ..some catfish and carp that
taste a little muddy with just a little taste of heavy metals.

Beep beep.


Moo-moo ....

Take care Len ...73 Tom KI3R
