Steve and all - FYI, I have a very nice RBL-4 receiver For Sale that may be of
interest. Listed on E-Ham and QTH.com, with AD as follows - call if interested:

>Just a final reminder of tomorrow night's 630m Midwinter Event, including
>the 630m-HF crossband activity.
>
>We hope to work you!
>
>Canadian stations will call CQ on announced frequencies within the 630m band
>and listen on individual HF (QSX) frequencies for callers.
>
>Due to the RTTY and Sprint activities on the same night, some of the QSX
>frequencies have been shifted from those that might normally have been used
>in the past.
>
>There will also be a large turnout of U.S. experimental activity, either in
>beacon mode or in two-way QSO mode with other experimental service
>stations.
>
>In past events, several Transcontinental crossband contacts have been
>completed. It is hoped that operating events such as this can serve to
>demonstrate the interesting propagation possibilities of this unique part of
>the spectrum and generate
>more new interest in the 630m band.
