Fair enough, I'm in no great hurry in my case, and I'd prefer not to 
ship things halfway around the world and back if I can avoid it. :) 
However, I haven't ruled that out either, though it won't be any time 
soon.  I'll see how things look around the middle of the year, and if I 
have some spare cash and no risk of moving house, then you might have a 
radio headed your way to play with. :)
