We should also thank Mike Dinkelman, N7WA, who has managed the 3830 list for
the past 20+ years.

Good morning, Art.
Lots of others to thank over many years....N5KO, K5TR, AD1C, W4AN (SK).
I never saw 3830 as a discussion forum, even though it may have been
used that way from time to time. Or maybe you are referring to
CQ-Contest, which is not going away. This is just about 3830.
