As a late G4 callsign, and therefore, it seems, being responsible for
the rot

I don't see why you'd draw that conclusion, Fred, since my post clearly
referred to one particular contributor. Rot generally takes time to
spread, and starts out with a small area of contamination. There are still
some good people coming into the hobby even now judging from the bands.

(P.S. I believe Santa Claus is bringing me a Yaesu FT817, with c.w.
filter for Christmas. Should I send it back???)

That ain't going to warm a cold shack much at this time of year - I'd
rather have a nice L7 or a TL922. Merry Xmas!
