Hoffmann) Newsgroups: net.ham-radio Subject: Politics and Religion Message-ID: <2418@brl-tgr.ARPA> Date: Thu, 24-Oct-85 22:33:52 EST Article-I.D.: brl-tgr.2418 Posted: Thu Oct 24 22:33:52 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 30-Oct-85 03:50:16 EST Sender: news@brl-tgr.ARPA Lines: 11 Well folks, the seeds of a certain nameless discussion reminded me of something I read in the ARRL operating manual when I first got involved in ham radio. Beware that this is not an exact quote. They cautioned against discussions of both politics and religion (sometimes inseparable) on the air, as these topics frequently lead to unfriendly exchanges, which, of course, have no place in our operating practices. Enough said. 73, Ron WA2EYC
