on numerous occasions, even to the point where I was going to offer my design, plans etc for the K-Factor, building articles etc. But it all fizzled out for various reasons. Who knows…if there is interest, maybe I’ll come up with something again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I was thinking the same thing - particularly for the electronic copy. In addition to promoting the hobby, distributing it to non-NSRCA members also broadens the exposure for advertisers.<br>
