[ausev] If you are pulling your transmission out...

[Aaron Choate]

Yeah, I apologize.  My goal was to reach people who are here in Austin where
the process would be simple and the expense low.  I certainly don't want
people to go to the trouble or expense of sending us their transmissions
from far away.  I do really appreciate that you were willing to consider it
though.  Thanks much.

Cheers and good luck on your project!
