Hi, Joel,

The authors are Tom Coates, N3IJ and Joseph T. Krywsztoforsk, AJ3X. Bill Edgar said they are from a Maryland (Baltimore if I recall correctly) club that has several League bashers as members. I zipped through the web, and found one or more Tom Coates. Couldn’t determine if any was the author. No hit on Krysztoforsk.

They are indeed from the BARC, which is a big club, not in my experience necessarily League bashers, but they did work hard to get a very nice PRB-1 bill with CC&R limiting language in the Maryland Legislature. Here is a copy of the bill. 73, Chris W3KD
