I never assume anything, Pete. You of all people should know that, and should know why. (o: As well as 80 meters, I keep receivers listening on 40, 160, and other bands when conditions permit. Most weekends the Clegg stations are monitoring 2 & 6 also, to no avail. My statements are based on what stations "I" can hear on a net night or corntest weekend as well as calls seen online, who don't seem to appear otherwise. >There's a lot more to ham radio then just working "80 meter AM"! I'd go even further Pete, and say that there's even more to promoting and preserving amateur radio than simply enjoying it, but you gotta start somewhere. Getting people on the air more and online less (at least with respect to ham radio) would, in my opinion, be a step in the right direction. Fact of the matter is, plenty of folks piss and moan, fewer actually 'do'. The internet just makes it that much easier. Voting is a perfect example. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ ______________________________________________________________ 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.
