Technically, according to the postmaster at one of the post offices here, the purchase rate for an IRC in the United States is ninety cents American. When you use an IRC for postage on an international letter, it is only worth fifty cents for the first ounce of first class postage. It is also the custom of the post office to stamp the IRC with their circular seal after it has been redeemed for postage.

Date: January 11, 1997 Time: 0700 until ??? (usually around noon) Some people arrive around 0630, so get there early. Place: Visual Arts Building parking lot. Cost: None! No entrance fee, no tailgating fee. Talk-in Freq: 147.060 Up .600 This is an amateur radio and computer related swap fest. Most of the items are used but are in good condition. Last year we had just about 100 tailgaters, with more people just walking around, looking and buying. The parking lot is paved, so those who are handicapped do not need to worry about mobility. There will be testing after the event, around 1pm. Directions: Entrance is on Alafaya Trail (S.R. 434) one traffic light NORTH of the intersection of University Boulevard, which will be Centarus. Turn EAST and proceed through the next traffic light and the parking lot will be on your immediate left. Go past it, turn left and come in. Restrooms are on site, and eating establishments are close by. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Bullwinkle's Corner/Orlando, Florida/407 896-5772 V.42 (1:363/182) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 140 SHORT WAVE Ref: DGT00000 Date: 12/23/96 From: TERRY BENDELL Time: 01:35am \/To: ALL (Read 6 times) Subj: Radio Shack Shortwave Can anbody tell me if the new Radio Shack Table top shortwave set, 15 khz -29.999 Mhz ssb/am/cw is any good? iT sells for about $400 here.

At that price it is a pretty good casual Shortwave listening unit for prime signal locations. It in no way though measures up to the much more expensive units that the serious listener typicaly requires. --- GEcho 1.20/Pro * Origin: Alpine Wildcat!
