         One of the more discouraging things
         that happened in the past year relates
         to the content of the AM Transmission
         Seminar that Phil and Alan spent
         so many hours to create - a three-day
         class and workshop with hands-on
         training.

         Sadly, although the Seminar was priced
         as low as possible to make it affordable
         to as many as possible, a couple of guys
         came to me and said they would come -
         IF we allowed him to video the entire
         program, so he could then make copies
         for everyone in his company.

         That contact basically forced us to
         put off any plans to bring the seminar
         to DVD, as it was clear that shortly after
         as it was available, sales would stop short.

         We'd still like to make the Seminar program available,
         but outside of the "live" arena, we're finding
         it hard to develop a viable plan.
