25 JAN, 2004 - 2025 CST You guys are all waaay behind me in knowledge of what we are... The first nasty email messages I received after my first board meeting (remember my castor oil comment Joel?) in January 2001, called all of us "fat-cat sonnova bitches". And when I answered his message, I introduced myself as one those "fat cat SOBs" and then proceeded to tell him where he could go in genteel terms that he probably did not understand. So, I'm up on all of you... I have known what I am for the last three years. :) 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Wheeewwwww!! That was a close one. For a moment I thought he was going to call us a bunch of "Whacko Liberal Weenies". That would have been unacceptable.

Also, many UK amateurs are upset with the fact that, according to OFCOM, their Class B, who now have full HF privileges, do not have Class 1 CEPT privileges. Of course, their license structure is different than ours, so the problems may be unrelated. Can you tell me where the information on the CEPT revision might be found?

Having fun? I've not had so much fun since my Aunt Minnie got her "---" caught in the wringer of her old washer and white washed the basement! Actually, other than being recalled from office, things are going pretty well here. I blame myself for much of the adverse E-mail because I didn't get around to sending an E-mail newsletter to the crowd until yesterday. The comments that have come since people read it are much more favorable and are nearly all at least tolerant after they saw my discussion of the whys we did what we did regard code, Novice and grandfathering. Grandfathering is drawing by far the most number of comments from my members. 73, hang tight, Jim W. AMATEUR RADIO: The only fail-safe communications system in the world.
