[Fourlanders] Microwave Gear Available

[Jim Worsham]

Thanks for giving us first shot at this stuff.  I would also like to post
this on the SVHFS and a couple of other VHF/UHF/microwave email reflectors
if that is OK with you.  I would like to give all the VHF/UHF/microwave guys
a chance before you go the ebay route.
