For Pete's sake, that has nothing to do with HAM RADIO! Depends on what you think of as ham radio. I rather enjoy reading about that sort of thing, as it has something technical to it. On the other hand, if I have to read (thank G*d for rn's kill files!) one more article about lower-than-30MHZ-conversations-with-some-unknown-little- forsaken-island-using-some-foreign-manufactured-rice-rocket-hooked-up- to-some-store-bought-heap-of-aluminum-for-a-grand-total-of-10-seconds-to exchange-signal-reports, I'll puke. Ham radio is a diverse hobby. I'm in it for the technical aspects, and to learn more about radio, television, digital, and other modes of communications. If I just want to talk to somebody, I'll use the telephone. Its cheaper and more reliable. So please! Tolerate the not-ham-radio-the-way-the-ARRL-invented-it traffic as well as the more traditional stuff here in ham-rado. Some of us like it! Oh yes, if you want to look for me on the air, I'll be there. I rarely get below 420MHz, though. Brian Kantor, WB6CYT decvax\ brian@ucsd.arpa akgua >--- sdcsvax --- brian ucbvax/ Kantor@Nosc
