Scott,
I'm afraid I REALLY need that capacitor in Saba, so I can't trade it
just yet. But I agree 100% with your sentiments. I am always sorry to
see
acrimony in our fine hobby and club. Hopefully this too shall pass.
73,
Hal N4GG

Please trade the capacitor for some sanity, calm, and common sense.
The whirlwind of defections from the club has been tantamount to a
scandal-ridden European government - minus the incriminating photos of a
scantily clad mistress, and most importantly, minus the apparent cause.
Ok, so Jeff said some things about some over-zealous, and possibly
overly-mercenary-minded DXpeditioners who were offering QSL cards for a
S/H fee that seemed excessive. Especially since similar cards from the
same locale could be obtained from club members post-visit w/o the S/H
fee in a few months.
I didn't see any lingerie or legs, so why all the hubbub?
Remaining Gentlemen and Ladies, I am (and you are as well) fortunate to
have a place, and a ladle, at a fountain of infinite knowledge, freely
and generously offered, by some of the legends in our particular niche
of an incredible hobby. I hope that whoever poisoned the well will see
the error of his/her actions and seek reconciliation. I also hope those
who tasted the bitter infusion, or who reacted in sympathy to the
offended, will find restorative elixirs that will mediate if not
counteract the toxins.
I need all the help, support, and encouragement I can get; I can't
afford to lose any more wise sages.
Scott, KB4KBS
