It was me! They are a small company but been in business for 15 years. It 
was probably a combination of you getting them on a busy day, and nobody 
speaking English round the place. Once they figure out you have millions of 
US Govt. dollars to spend they may well get a lot quicker at returning your 
calls :)

P.S. I enjoyed reading about your work on the solid state klystron 
modulator. I'm getting psyched up to build a large Tesla coil using IGBT 
bricks as a spark gap replacement. However, having seen how easily you 
managed to trash those 2000A bricks, I'm not sure if my 600A units will get 
very far. The manufacturers don't give away much about package inductances 
and such like :(
