I'm not one to intentionally stir up strife so I will only say that I
have to go along with Jim on this issue. I have been a broadcast
engineer for twenty-some years with more AM experience than many of my
broadcast peers. I love radio. That's why this is my hobby AND my
vocation. For some silly reason I feel that occasionally I have
something to offer here. Like Jim, I have posted viable comments and
been belittled, ignored and once or twice thanked off-list. When I saw
Jim's suggestion about the other forum, I checked into it and signed up.
I have only recently picked up AM boat anchor gear which I am working on
to get on the air. I have had several exchanges with Jim which have
been very helpful not to mention cordial. My only regret is that I have
a lot of "real" work going on right now and not as much time to play as
I'd like. I'm chomping at the bit to get on AM! Some of this makes me
wonder why. I try never to be rude on the air; but, from this list I
know who I'll more readily answer when I do get on. Come on folks,
let's all grow up. Be gentlemen here and on the air. Its never too
late to do the right thing.

To you Pete and all, I posted Ted's site as a viable alternative to AM
Fone. On Ted's site, you will receive a respectful answer to any post
made. My comments were not intended to implicate or indite a
particular person or group. It was mentioned so if anyone West of the
Mississippi would like an alternative, it is available.
The person to which I referred made several snide remarks to technical
posts I made rather than be inclusive and disagree in a respectful
manner. In fact his comments is what first made me uneasy with the
direction of the board to becoming more regionalized. You, however,
have always be respectful to all who post there. This despite the
fact that I have seen several really take you to task over your
support of the ARRL. You have also responded to inquiries I have made
in in the past. I suppose the difference may be that you were (are)
in the manual business and recognize the value of respect for your
peers, whereas some over there do not have the benefit of trying to
please most people.

Under Rules, it says: This is radio site dedicated to AM. The reason
most
come here is to meet and exchange information about our mode and hobby."
Obviously, their is no requirement to have a amateur license since many
short wave listeners and general radio/electronic experimenters are also
interested in AM and in some of our technical discussions. The technical
discussion threads can vary all over the place.
Although I can't place the person you referred to below, it could be
he's
been a long time friend to many who responded to his posts. Could be any
number of reasons.
