I do VHF/UHF weak signal stuff. I've dabbled in digital (not my favorite mode, but it's like pickels are for me - I don't usually want to eat one, but when I want to eat one, I REALLY want to). I also do CW, & SSB (although I prefer AM to SSB). I'm not a mode snob. It would be boring if we all only like to eat vanilla ice cream, or operate only 1 radio mode. 73, Ellen - AF9J ______________________________________________________________ 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:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
