Tnx Kay. We'll fix.

Dick, the box is now automatically checked for everyone. Now that it's automatically checked, if I'm understanding you correctly, moving it up the page will make it more likely that they will notice it and uncheck it. If it's true that they don't get all the way down the list, then if it's near the bottom they won't see it and uncheck it. We can arrange the list however you want.

Dave, I see no errors of any substance, Dave. Looks fine to me. Of course Kay is correct on her comment and it should be corrected, but it did not effect a substantial change in what actually happened.

I read in the Oregonian newspaper today that if Powell's FCC bill (up to 45% ownership) is voted down in Congress, he (Powell) will resign. 73/Greg W7OZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ" <dsumner(a)arrl.org> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 5:56 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9115] Re: Wishful Dreaming? Be careful what you wish for. The replacement could very well be worse. And yes, this rumor was circulating widely yesterday.

He went on to say that Mr. Powell is shopping for a "job in industry". I translate that to mean a cushy lobbyist's job. Anyobody else pick up on this? 73 - Dick, W9GIG
