Something stinks there.........

You've just stumbled onto a little range war, L. That tinyurl link is
the page of another Ham that suggested increased fees for licensing, and
Hans is just being Hans.

I kinda wondered about that! The whole thing made no sense.

There's a good reason for it NOT making any sense.

It was generated by K0HB.

Hans spent some time making a little fictional "news release" since he's
unable to directly address the matter objectively. Since I've managed to
derail his rant, he's taking a different approach.

I beg to differ, gents. I got three lines into Hans' message before I
backed up, started again, and then had an uncontrollable giggling fit.
That piece of wit, humor, and good fun is in no wise a 'rant'; and in
fact, it makes a helluva lot more sense in its logic and structure than
virtually anything the FCC sez these days.

Steve just yells alot. Always incensed about sumptin or even about
nuthin. Doesn't matter.
