Hi Kim I am certainly pleased you will not be leaving our ranks!
In terms of making money from tight fisted hams, its not a big issue for me (being one of those also). I do this because I want to and have time to do so, not to achieve a great return on investment (I doubt anyone is in this business to get wealthy). If it pays for itself then I would be happy. Thanks for the comments, they certainly mirror those I have received from others. I can promise that the documentation will be upgraded sometime during the year (I just cannot promise when!) Also agree that Joes efforts are way above anything I probably will do. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.dxbase.com www.abrohamnealsoftware.com www.sdrsystems.com (540) 242 0911 Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ DX Cluster: dxc.k3nc.com port 23 On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 2:42 PM, Kim Elmore <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Neal, > > I'm delighted to hear this!
