    I second the motion for the proposed new news group, "rec.swl".  
    
    I basically agree with the proposal for the new group, as it more-or-less
suits *my* interests and needs.  My only quibble is that I'm not sure if the
new group will or will not be open to discussion of non-broadcast dx, e.g.
"utes" (utility stations), and I think that it should be.

    In regard to the question of the best name for the group, "rec.swl" is
proabably as good as any.  I'd vote against "rec.broadcast-dx", as it would
(if in name only) exculde our ute-dx-ing brothers and sisters.
