Ok side note on Irony here, the rules use to be you could not use the air-waves for ANY commercial talk or communications. So the old timers on my local repeater ( again I worked only 2m and 70cm) would ENFORCE that rule. Thus ALL you could really talk about was radios, to a 24 year old that got boring really fast, thus another reason for me to drop, nothing to talk about.
But even if those rules are still enforced, we could talk Linux/geek (like at dinner) for hours without breaking the rule. Just funny that now there are topics that fit the draconian FCC rules On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 9:58 AM, Shannon Weyrick <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm another closet ham on the list (N2OXS).
