To this I would say "no", but.... To bring this back to repeaters, if you say anyone who wishes can use my repeater (or car) except blacks, my guess is you are in for some very serious and expensive trouble. Remember no one has a RIGHT to a job in your business, but you cannot deny them the job on the grounds of race. Same for renting your apartment, or even spare room. If you offer to almost everyone, you must offer to all (except you may exclude those of a non- protected class). You can say no attorneys can use my repeater, but you would be taking a great risk saying no Catholics can. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE gomberg1 at wcf dot com All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
