Goodness Gracious Graham,
Things must be "slow" down under when you classify "radiodans" writings
as informative.
I am glad that you at least mention the GLARING fact that most of his
scribbling ARE and most likely will be "ADVERTISING" and very BLATANT at
that.
I do not know how life is down under but in the States we are SWAMPED
with more and more SPAM MAIL and as far as I am concerned all of the
scribbling of "radiodan" in any shape or form brings no "VALUE" or
"SERVICE" (except to his own pocket) to the AMPS@CONTESTING.COM
community.
I am hard pressed to find any message that was post by "radiodan" that
added any TRUE VALUE and JUST barely any relevance to the TOPIC of
AMPLIFIERS (and I do not include the SALE of as relevant).
IT IS BLATANT ADVERTISING and thus can be considered a form of
"UNSOLICITED SPAM".
Quite true other "vendor" representatives do reply in this forum BUT they
are not BLATANT ADVERTISING SPAMERS and DO ADD Value to owners of the
respective equipment by providing informative and detailed technical
information and solutions to existing problems.
The ONLY thing that "radiodan" provides the LIST is a constant
"pedaling" drivel about NEW and MORE NEW Henry "Swamby" Amps.
Its a shame that we have to put up with such BLATANT COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISING in our HOBBY, and YES DAN this is just a hobby to me and NOT
MY "JOB".
To bad that my Juno software is not Abel to selectively FILTER out
"RADIODAN the RF SPAM Man" and still receive the AMP List.
73's
Have a better and Less Commercialized Tomorrow.
and most of all "Have Radio Fun"
Oh and by the way "Cheers"
Steve
