Russ is a good guy.

Always befriend your Ops guy, and you'll never deal with crap equipment. Show him you take care of your stuff, and he'll make sure you get the good equip. as it comes in.

I know Ken. Just bad mouth Ohio State (Nothing like being named after a harry nut). He'll take it in stride.
I actually perfer the RD4000 as my piece also (can't use weapon, RD trademarked it) It is heavy, but I use a workbag to carry my receiver (it lightens the load). Good luck.

Yeah Ken is pretty cool guy. Very laid back. Apparently he's been around since witching sticks were the primary means of locating....lol.

I think he's been around since mules pulled the excavating equipment. Shhh, Where did you hear about witching sticks. Now they'll put you on double secret probation.

The best answer I can give is to give them a call back and let them know you are interested. Managers like that and it makes them look at your application a second time.

Good Luck
