Is it only me or are others also getting tired of deleting metric system
messages? This group is starting to getting really redundant on many of the
subjects that get put up for discussion. It seems that some of us are just
trying to show the group how smart they are. You know who you are. I am an
active amplifier builder, and I have a valid ham ticket but I really
hesitate to ask for help in the fear that another avalanche of responses
will be the result.
