No, I don't have access.  There are dozens of places to get access in
Vancouver but FIDO is all I can handle at the moment! :-)))

assistant: Paul,
    I see that Mr. FSK is out of a job. I wonder why, could it be that
he printed 4 and 12GHz reports in a major publication? These
transmission are considered private communications. I believe the mag.
could be sued for printing details of the transmissions. At least in
the RTTY Listener they print a disclaimer. I almost wrote to this guy
to tell him about the trouble he was asking for. But it was new to him,
and I knew he wouldn't stop. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but it
might be. Did you take a look at that UPI photo he printed from SATCOM
K2, it was the worse. Tne FAX images from K2 at least here are photo
quality.
Ken,
    Do you have news about what's going on?

             You should give Universal a call. They usually have loads
    of M-6000's lying around (Used ones). The prices look to be
    pretty reasonable too.
    That really SUCKS! What's worse is that the pinheads who stole
    it probably think it's an AM radio and like turning the big dial
    and watching the pretty numbers change. I guess your insurance
    did not help you out. But that's not a surprise they're another
    bunch of pinheads watching the pretty numbers change.
    Thanks.
