Hey Michael:
Be great to catch up with you.

I have a low powered handheld CB if you want to borrow it and keep in the loop for the trip up. They have short range but have been used by others over the years with no complaints.

Just let me know and i will get one to you before hand or at the twin servos

oh no, more unintelligible conversation, those poor extra-terrestrials that may be ease-dropping on us.

Good one Rick, what type did you get? have you activated any of the squelch stuff or left it simple?

Don't worry Geoff, goes with me all the time . Do you need me to bring the software or have you got AutoStar Suite on your laptop?

And the Bongoos and accordion
