Well, Grant...
I, for one, really appreciate your e-mails! I've been a Ham since 1966,
both Advanced and Extra (for the last several years), but I'm also into
what's politely called, 'my senior years' (oh, yeah). I learn a great deal
from your e-mails, and others that put constructive information on this
reflector.
Please keep it up!!
