Robert,
I would say that right after the US, civilian directed, military waste
program, you Canadians have the best military surplus market in the
world. Besides, I saw some of the old gear you used in the Radio
Astronomy quest of a few years back. You are a kindred spirit
"scrounger". This is the key to the doing! Rather than whining and
wringing hands, we get out there and push and shove to scrounge up the
stuff we need to get the job done. Information wise, the internet is a
great place to scrounge.
