This sure looks like attempted commercialization of
the QRP-L group to me.
Let's see, Elecraft is commercial and appeals to QRP groups, and we don't
complain about that...since we perceive what they offer is of value.
From time to time threre are threads about stores that sell to hams, or stores
that sell supplies to hams, and not only do we not complain about that, we
bemoan the fact that are less outlets that pander to us.
We even promote businesses that commercialize QRP by extolling their virtues,
psoting their phone numbers and web site addresses.
Time to let him know we don't appreciate his
obvious attempts to sell T-shirts.
From my perspective, the annoying part is that like so many online marketers,
the sales pitch is disguised as informational.
A very effective way to show your displeasure is to NOT buy the tee shirts.
