Brian: As the list administrator, you can direct what topics can be discussed, but on 1/30/06 you said, "Our list is primarily for discussion of AMRadio in regard to operating, equipment, tech questions, answers, scheds, news, and friendly discussion for those who enjoy our niche of the hobby. Announcements of threatening news against our part of ham radio is perfectly acceptable"
As Don pointed out, K1MAN has a history with the AM community. Besides what Don cited, K1MAN has broadcast his "bulletin service" on 3890 for years on AM and sometimes even below that frequency. W1AW has been doing their voice bulletins on the 40 meter AM "calling frequency" for years using the SSB mode. Truly both of their amateur activities have had an impact on the AM community for many years. I also question why someone would choose to leave the list rather than exercising the delete button on their computer, when messages not in their interest, come up. In my opinion, Amateur Radio is "threatened"(loosely put) with many possible changes over the next few years which directly impacts the AM community, and maybe for many, their current AM rigs on the air. General amateur radio discussions which may or may not directly impact AM operations should not be discouraged. Being aware of ARRL/W1AW activities or FCC activities is very important as we move forward in amateur radio.
