DOWN THE TOOBE<br />
Please note: The membership<br />
application on the last page does<br />
not indicate it's time to regnu your<br />
membership in the PARC. The<br />
"~ Trea$urer and Membership Chairman<br />
are overjoyed when you do so early<br />
as it saves time at the end of the<br />
<strong>Club</strong>'s membership year (July 31st),<br />
but your membership expiration date<br />
is on your Scope mailing label.<br />
Hope you all noticed the revamped<br />
masthead on last month's issue. Jo,<br />
KB6NMK, did it. It's still nice and<br />
uncluttered and looks great, and not<br />
radically different. As many of you<br />
know, Jo also does the ads in Scope<br />
- calls the advertisers and gets the<br />
new prices, ads, etc. Thanks Jo.<br />
We're trying something new with<br />
this issue too. Wordstar 3.3 was<br />
the previous WP system. We've now<br />
up-graded (I hope) to Wordstar<br />
Professional 5.0. The new one does<br />
it in columns now like nLa Palabra<br />
del Presidente n has been for some<br />
time. Comments on the new format<br />
will be welcomed.<br />
Marty, W9GNI, retired from the<br />
Navy at the end of his cruise as<br />
Division Chaplain, 1st Marine Division<br />
at Camp Pendleton; and has been<br />
called to Chicago. He (and we)<br />
Scope - March '89<br />
hoped he could remain and serve in<br />
this area, but it was not to be. We<br />
were fortunate to have been able to<br />
bid him goodbye as he rode off into<br />
the sunrise on 146.730. 73, Padre.<br />
Highway Company, one of our longtime<br />
advertisers and supporters, has<br />
sold out and gone out of business.<br />
We're sorry to see it since it was<br />
one of the few old time surplus<br />
places left - and none of the newer<br />
ones advertise in Scope.<br />
As you may have noticed in last<br />
month's Scope's calcified ads, Bill<br />
Salter, K6GJD, is another one who<br />
has nsold outn. Bill has bought a<br />
house in Show Low, AZ, and says he<br />
has now sold his hilltop in Vista.<br />
He'll be riding off into the sunrise<br />
before you get this. 73 Bill.<br />
Happy trails and good DX.<br />
