I bought one of these a while back and they are quite nice. Whatever method is used for the image transfer is well done. I use it at least once a week and it looks brand new after a ton of washings. It has nice weight to it which helps keep the coffee warm.

My plug for this nice product.

Speaking of coffee cups, if you're ever in Tampa, FL and enjoy coffee, stop in at Shortwave Coffee. I asked the counter person about the name, but they didn't know and the owner wasn't around.
I had to go look at their swag and decided to get this coffee cup with the bean-topped tower and CW (receive and transmit) printed on the side. After looking them up online, it appears they have locations in Columbia MO and Minneapolis MN.

Chris, have you considered offering other HFU gear through Zazzle? A color inverse of the HFU logo and URL on a black ball-cap or perhaps a tote bag for our portable radios might be interesting.

IOW, I do not drink coffee or hot tea. ;p

BTW, no big deal if it is too much effort for likely very little return. Just an inquiry. Regardless, I do try to remember to send a few dollars via the PayPal donation link every few months.
