I dunno many details, but I think there's a directional AM station in the
Santa Cruz area that has its towers disguised as flag poles in a golf
course.

I think Gulfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. I think the FCC names their
servers after waterfalls. Iceland always reminds me of the movie "Girl in
the Cafe." One of our favorites!

Sujan is what my father named two boats he had in sequence (Sujan, then
Sujan II). They were named for my sisters Suzy and Jan. The other server
here is named kauko, which was my father's name. I think Sujan turns out
to be a fairly popular name in India.

They have been cooperative. I needed their permission according the the
CC&Rs, which I am bound to comply with as an owner here. I also needed
that permission to get the city business license. So, it all worked out
well.
