   I would think this is so.  Unfortunatly, we can't tell the folks that
have Arbitron diaries to get better receivers. :-)

   Unfortunatly, this was not meant to be.  My GM instructed me to call in
the Feds due to the issue regarding the translator.  If your were on
another freq, possibly it would have come down differently.

    I'm sure a number of folks would have happily freely given you
consultaion regarding engineering and prepared your apps.  I have done that
for a number of community and college stations.  I am a very big supporter
of community and college stations.  When this all blows over, give me a
ring and I will try to help you get a legit station license.

   Give me a call, I certainly don't want to look like I was aiding an

No channel 6?  What about cable TV?  While these systems are supposed
to be substantially leakproof, operation on the bottom or hypo-bottom
of the FM band in a crowded residential area is guaranteed to cause
grief to some CATV viewers on both channel 6 and channel 7 (2nd
harmonic).  Also, I might add that operation outside of the band is a
instant dead giveaway that something is wrong.

A sub rosa radio station like this would have to be as thoughtfully
engineered as a real licensed radio station with regards to
interference potentials. It's one thing to operate a bootleg radio
station (we've all done it), but it becomes a serious issue should 
such operation cause a problem for others.

Well, I would be EXTREAMLY interested to find out exactly how we
interfered with you any more than the station on 104.1 that is in
Modesto.  Also, we are 2 channels away from KKSF, and I know for 
A FACT that our transmitter is in perfect working order, and is 
EXTREAMLY clean.  This isnt some little peice of crap that one of
us built, this is real equipment.  A real Exciter, a REAL stereo generator,
a REAL peak limitter, a semi-real antenna (its pretty close to real..).  
We put out a very stable signal (we spent a year's repair budget on our
crystal).  


PROOF!  Lets hear some proof.  

I hope you realize that by shutting down out radio station, you
have added several years to my schooling and deeply hampered my 
education.  Thanks alot, jerk.

a station that may or may not have been legal was shut down. The part
that astounds me is that somebody who posts in their signature tag

I few years ago someone took me to a brunch at a restaurant in
Burlingame. Entrance was $15 to stay as long and eat as much as
you want.

They had the food laid out in several different rooms - one for
traditional breakfast food (eggs & bacon, sausage, bagels, etc),
one for lunch type stuff (salads, deli sandwich bar, etc), one just
for seafood, one for desserts, and more (can't remember what else).

I seem to remember that this place was on or near the grounds of
a park or recreation area. You could see the bay from the bar where
we waited to be seated.

I can't remember the name of this place. Does it sound familiar
to anyone else?

Cafe Venezia - University Avenue in Berkeley - wonderful atmosphere

I recently held the West coast section of my wedding reception at The Veranda
in Aptos.  They specialize in small receptions.  I had a sit down luncheon for
about 45 people.  

The Veranda is a renovated Inn.  It's gorgeous!  The staff are wonderful and
went out of their way to be sure they understood exactly what I was looking
for- they were gracious and warm and accomodating.  I had one guest who had
travelled all the way from SF with the beginnings of the flu.  They made her
camomile tea and kept her comfortable in their sitting room.  With a fire in
the fireplace.

The Inn can be formal or casual.  It's a very comfortable place. Feels like
your Victorian Grandmothers house on Sunday... big windows, ivy everywhere, 
fresh flowers, wood floors, did I mention the fabulous staff?  (no really!  I
don't work for these people!)

I should preface this next bit-- we have several chefs in my family- cooking is
a family hobby.  We love good food-- The Veranda would make my brother happy -
and he is the pickiest of the bunch!

The food is incredibly good.  We had hors d'oeurves followed by a green salad,
stuffed chicken breasts, perfectly done veggies in a ribbon of pepper.  The
sauce on the chicken was perfect.  The stuffing was rice and pecans- also
perfect!  The cake was gorgeous!

They have dining in the main dining room that has a fireplace and lovely
antiques, or on a porch that wraps around the front of the Inn.  They also have
a garden area with herb and flower borders.     

I found their prices to be extremely reasonable and their service impeccable.

There is lots of parking and well- you should drop by and visit the place-
it's just great!  I plan on returning there for a holiday dinner and definitely
for our first anniversary!

Their phone number is 408/ 685-1881.  

I worked with Alex- who was very understanding about last minute changes and
handled them effortlessly-- including having to dream up a Vegan meal for one of
my guests!

Have lots of fun--I only wish I could have had these guys out on the East
coast- this reception was *so* much easier than the other one!

Enjoy! and congratulations!

     I know at least one person who really likes Trudy's, and based upon
that, I went there with a friend about a year ago.  I found the appetizers
extraordinary, and I was consequently let down by the main entrees.  Perhaps
it was just because the appetizers were large as well as good, and I'd eaten
my fill already.  However, at least one other ba.food.critic has agreed with
my opinions (Jordan).

Those are two excellent suggestions.  But since David asked for
"very nice" and "quiet", I might suggest instead Nadines, on 
San Pablo near Dwight -- one of the underrated restaturants in 
Berkeley.  Cafe [Venezia,Pastoral] is not likely to "quiet"
after the Indian gets done mauling my alma mater.

La Folie on Polk St in San Francisco is very nice. The food is excellent and so is the presentation is outstanding(remember, presentation is 50% of the pleasure of eating). Wine are good altough the red burgundies are overpriced compare to their age (most are 1988ish). If you do drink a red burgundy, have them decant it and let it time to breathe.

Expect about $90 per person with a decent wine.

Godd luck
