While we have had our problems with Bill, one thing we can be sure of is that he is adamantly opposed to having the Amateur Radio Service drift in a commercial or quasi-governmental direction.

I'm also a bit surprised the FCC agreed with and quoted some of our comments. Does this portend a return to reality by the FCC when it deals with the Amateur Radio Service? I would like to see this change happen, but I doubt if it will happen during my remaining years. - Dick, W9GIG _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org http://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
