The following statement to the list members is due to many private emails I've received, and several attitudes I have observed that are not conducive to our good relations on this list: ----- It seems obvious this IARU topic has caused a lot of fighting, bickering, and spiteful remarks between a lot of people on this list. To me, it is a shame we can't discuss things in a professional manner, but no, the sarcasm, and ranting seems to take precedence. We are fighting among ourselves people, and the last thing we need is to come to dislike other AM'ers due to a possible problem we might (or not) face together. Also, I would ask that words that refer to body parts, or simply expletives in general, that really aren't needed in statements you make, NOT be used on this list, I don't care what religion (or not) you happen to be. That is a warning, and I usually don't give those, as most here know. Basically, do NOT use cuss words or those that even closely relate to any body part here, we can hear enough of that on the air, or in person. I'm not trying to say I'm someone that does not say a cuss word from time to time, but I see no reason to do it on this list for no good reason. Got it?
We are a group of many walks of life with a membership of about 400, many of which would rather discuss operation, and technical issues of radio, etc., but I am not opposed to discussing issues of regulation when it comes to the AM mode, however I see this issue getting out of hand real fast among our group. We will ALL have to make our descions about IF we want to email or snail mail the ARRL or IARU individually. Express your opinion here, but DO NOT criticise others from this point forward for the idea or opinion they might have. Your satisfaction of, or not of, the ARRL, or IARU would better be directed to them. Why waste time arguing with your fellow AM'ers, and on this list, which I'm pretty certain the ARRL does _not_ monitor. I hope my point is well taken, and I truly hope that we can get back to being gentlemen with one another in haste. 73 Brian / wa5am AMRadio "gate keeper" if you will... -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI Harvard Minor Planet Station (MPC) H44/Cascade Mtn.
