    Hi Hindra et all....

     Yes, they are definitly still publishing and doing better than ever. 
The magazine is a great resource. As for not gewtting an answer, well, 
you will (give Kathleen my regards...Don).

     Home Power magazine has been published "off-the-grid" as it were, 
for these past six years. The Perez clan lives about 30 miles from 
Hornbrook CA about 8 miles down a dirt road. Besides there being no power 
there is also no telephone service. The folks at Home Power use a private 
radio telephone setup from Carlson Communications in Redway CA. 
Unfortunatly it only allows one line. In order to deal with the volume of 
orders they get these days they employ a friend (Kathleen) who, while 
also living off the grid, has normal phone service. She handles phone 
subscriptions and back issue sales as well as Visa/MC orders for the 
magazine. Being a one person office has it's downside since if Kathleen 
is dropping off the kids, runs to town for groceries, etc. no one will 
answer. 
    This is a really hectic week for the Home Power folks who are putting 
up a booth at SEER, putting on workshops, etc. They are also finishing up 
the next issue (coming out in August) and sending it off to the printers. 
I'm sure you'll reach them but with all the stuff currenetly going on it 
might take a day or so. Be patient, you'll be well rewarded for it. They 
put out a great publication.
