Yahoo lists do seem to snag a few people who don't make it to this list, for whatever reason. This is a good thing. I subscribe to the group that Garey moderates, I'm a member of Thom's Drakelist Online Forum, and I seem to be the only active modrator on drake-radio-operators at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, anyone is welcome anywhere, the important part is that you are somewhere! Users on the other listsgroups/forums are often pointed here as an additional resource, and quite a few didn't even know it existed because they found the Yahoo or D.O.F. first. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
