---- Comment from the Editor: I have tried to make this weekly Blast an
interesting, semi-newspaper type format.
Apparently this has met with a bit of an issue with a few folks who
can't see certain items or their
phones can't parse the format of varying format size and width
etc. So, with the goal of getting the
news to all with minimal consternation, I have gone back to basic
fonts and point size with no
bold, italics or color or anything other than just plain old black
text and one logo png. For those of you that have
had no trouble with viewing, good for you and thank you for reading,
so sorry for the change.
73, Rick W5RH
