Well said Geoff, and thanks. It's like I told some folks on AM the other day who are not happy with any AM'er that ALSO operates other modes; it's not the mode that makes the man, but the man himself that makes him a man. True, there are a lot of sideband ops that have a vitriol hatred for AM ops, but we all know it works the other way around too. None of this helps a damned thing in the hope this war will ever end. 73 Brian / wa5am ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
