Thank you Juergen, you are of course right. 73

The ongoing discussion about legal or formal topics since a couple of weeks with constant repeating of all the old arguments without any new ideas or aspects is more than boring and for sure not in line with the original definition. It's just repeating something and no interest in carefully considering the other party's arguments. And, worst of all, only one part of the different subjects of this group, the air activity if this term can be applied at all, is discussed over and over again with absolutely no progress. Please count the posts on FCC regulations, fundamental (and unfortunately non-technical) contributions to emergency communication in particular the spending of 250 KUSD for radio equipment etc (I don't want to waste my time to list all what I have read in the past weeks since I joined this group), and then compare that number to the posts on real topics of this group. The ratio between the two figures is in my opinion completely inadequate. I like open discussions but there should be an end sometime, at least that the different parties come to the conclusion that there will be no agreement. That is at least an agreement. If the present discussions will continue I will for sure leave this group. The group will survive it, of course, but I wonder if not many others not commenting in public will look for a better alternative to the meeting place the Digitalradio Group is offering at the moment. 73 Juergen, DL8LE
