Dunno, it just seems like a "guy" hobby, don't think I've ever known any 
women who were even slightly interested in it...even geeky tech-types 
aren't THAT geeky.  :-0  Sort of like the male-female ratio at a Star Trek 
or 3 Stooges convention.

Other than Rachel E., I can't think of any other women who contribute to 
the broadcast.net boards either (and as you said, she's employed in the 
industry).
