My QSOs showed up in LoTW today, too. I made a _very_ modest donation,
so it looks like everyone who donated any amount via the OQRS system can
expect their confirmations soon.

What "nasty rhetoric?" There is quite a bit of innuendo going back and

No one is standing on any soapbox predicting
anything. The comments about Dayton on this list have come from people very
concerned that attendance at Dayton has dropped MARKEDLY. We are concerned that
Dayton may cease to be what it has been for many of us.
Without the remarkable fleamarket,
The problems at Dayton have almost nothing to do
with politics and very much to do with mistakes made by the people running the
hamfest and the current lack of interest by many people involved with our
hobby.
The Dayton club began running the fest this year
and it seems clear that those in
The fact that Ed didn't get a bullet to the head is all the "proof of

All of my T9 QSLs (T97V) have come via the buro, as I've never

A time difference of 30 minutes is acceptable. I'd guess that the dates have

This is really absurd. I do not believe that this is the proper forum for a
discussion about the politics of Burma/Mayanmar. In any case, it is unlikely
that the present military leadership will respond to our protests by

They know what they're doing is illegal and they don't care that it's
illegal and they don't care how you feel about it. Just like the many 75
