Hi John,
   Yes, my available time for ham radio activities seemed to take a 
continuous long slide downward, and will likely stay very low for some 
months.
Jim Piccirillo WA1NBS (jpiccirillo at greenwaldindustries.com) said he 
would like to "pick up the ball".  I sent him some of the information I 
had gathered as of feb 22.  Maybe he can comment on his progress.

73,
Dave
