Joe (& others) -- Mark Coady of ODXA and NASWA has been working on a project to donate recent WRTHs to DXers in the developing world (where shortwave is still apparently viable...) that can't afford new WRTHs every year.
I would think the 2010 edition would be suitable for his project...so if you are not a collector of them, but still have it around, consider bringing it to the Fest for boxing up for this project. If you won't be joining us at the Fest this year, contact me off-list and I'll provide a postal address in a couple days where you can send items -- we are still sorting out the logistics of getting these books abroad. Joe, many thanks for your AN-LP1 offer! I'll contact you off-list with shipping details.
