The influx from the cities fixed that, along with us natives...well...having more cows. They're good on the grill. > Lighten up folks, it's a hobby! Many of us who have been involved online with these things (AM-specific) for, say - over a decade now, have seen this approach before. We've seen the results, how pointless it is, and how the 'new list' still needs to copy the old list when they have a real question. We don't understand why anyone would bother with such an exercise in futility, since together we are strongest. Not that it isn't your God-given right to do so, because we support freedom too. As Jim pointed out, this is nothing new. Consider it our good-natured way of pointing it out. BTW - I just posted some grainy shots of my BC transmitter over on 'fone, having finally gotten it powered up a few months back. These two resources are, to me, the ideal: the email list for a less-structured QSO type of format, often with a rapid turnaround on questions (many folks tend to be online for email, not logged into the site), and the AMfone site for the more granular sections, ability to post and view photos, schematics, and so on as well as the wealth of information covered by both. Almost like having a book to refer to when you can't ask a question. Even the little bit over overlap through duplication is handy, it's helped me see things in once place I had missed in the other. I can never thank Brian and Gary enough for putting this all together years ago from their initial individual efforts. Hope that adds some clarity, Mark. Especially about those cows. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ (o: ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 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.
