 Sal,

It behooves all of us to forward John's email message to anyone we thinkwould 
give a good presentation at next year's SWLfest, along with asolicitation and 
encouragement for them to do so.

Sometimes this requires gentle prodding and hand-holding, with anexplanation 
that the SWLfest is an informal, fun event that warmlywelcomes new speakers and 
attendees.

I've been doing this for several years which has brought several goodspeakers 
to the SWLfest--some of who had never heard of the SWLfest butwho are now 
regular 'festers.  

John and Rich need ALL of us to help bring in good speakers and newattendees 
for the SWLfest to survive and thrive.  We will ALLbenefit from this.  It's 
really up to all of us.

Typically, John and Rich receive more talk submissions than there's timeto 
present, so they have to vet them all and pick the best ones eachyear--which is 
a lot of work.

I've already reached out to some new people about speaking at next 
year'sSWLfest.  I hope you do the same!

Best,

-Ed Cummings

Veteran bargain DX'er Saul Broudy turned me on to this internal Radio Shack
document showing 1784 stores slated to close soon.

The WSJ map is a little easier to read.  I learned that the store in my
hometown is slated for closure (Haverhill MA).    Nearby ones in Plaistow
NH,  Lawrence MA,  and one of the two in Salem NH will be spared.
Salem NH has two malls adjacent to each other,  and both have RS stores.   

If one of these stores is near you, it might pay to check it out.  I agree
that some stock is likely to be sold off wholesale to liquidators, but
there'll still be some pretty deep retail discounts in stores slated for
closing. 

Another thing that is common in retail chain store closings,   and I
honestly don't know if this will be the case with Radio Shack - is that
merchandise is actually brought INTO stores - if a store is going out of
business,  but has a high enough foot traffic factor,  things might be
brought into that store to take advantage of the situation.

But I don't know how RS is planning to do this.
