Hi, Patrick:

I have been listening to the audio ads since you began including them on The
Handihams Site.  Having them available makes it possible for us to keep up
to date on new equipment releases so that when our amateur friends comment
on on what they plan to buy, we know what they're talking about.

Thanks for making them available.

Bob
