As to traffic, I think we'll make it.. can't tell until the voting
happens though.  I'll be pestering everyone I can think of till
then.

I've heard several suggestions along the rec.radio.antique line,
and certainly have no problems with that name.  I was thinking of 
rec.ham-radio when I suggested antique-radio.  I'm also curious
about this size/second-level name perception.  Is there some policy
on this?  Doesn't seem to be any reason to link the two that I can think
of, except perhaps some sys file convenience.
