David, There is NO reason to be a smart a_ _ about this subject or what other people think. You obviously have all of YOUR answers, let the rest of us get ours without the snide comments....please. Oh, and the "expert" you mentioned just happens to really be one! If the legislation affects you then do what you think is best, if not then why throw gas on the fire ? No one thinks disaster is imminent, they are just trying to improve the situation for a majority of Hams. If it passes it might improve, if it doesn't it won't get worse ! I think what everyone wants is the best piece of legislation that we can get to the benefit of all Hams, present and future and many think that as it stands now there is too much compromise in the current bill. W Paul Noll KG5MHD Love your pets, they want and deserve it !!!
