....and they are 100% correct also. Just goto any hamfest

men in dirty rags who are incredible tightwads that reek
of tobacco smoke and/or booze.

Chris, You are wrong and your daddies at UPLC are wrong. But then you knew
that.

So why do you go to hamfests? Oh, you must be one of them.

Nice try, Scumbag Troll.

"harmonically enriched" - well said.

Read them ... what a pile of falsehoods and total crap. The UPLC should be
challenged under the
Commission's rules about making untruthful statements to the Commission.

Fortunately, no one else thought so. It was still around as a "vanity" call
when I finally got back to the "4" district. HI

Well, three things on the predicted 10dB (under estimated?) additional noise
floor when BPL gets rolling full steam:
1) Every ham will need to run the maximum power they can, since the "minimum
power necessary" will have to overcome the high and ever-present BPL noise.
2) Although PSK works great with low power right now, maybe running big
power with PSK will be one way to get through for those not interested in
CW. Yep, high power PSK may be what most amateurs will go to.
3) We should all start working on our handles when the FCC is told to clamp
down on the hams interfering with BPL transmissions. Actually, once those
radios interfering with BPL are taken off the air, the power companies might
want to try "wireless" transmission into homes. They still will have to keep
their power line BPL sigs somewhat down so Duke Power doesn't interfere with
Cinergy up in Cincinnati. I'm sure they can mitigate that sort of problem,
however.

My "YZ" worked for two reasons...First was that "YZ" in CW has a
nice swing to it.

Second is that one of the USMC units I belonged to had a tail
modex of "YZ". (Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363). My first
choice was "YF", (HMH-462), but as it worked out, the "YZ" is better
on CW, methinks.
