[Amps] Entry level license

[Michael Clarson]

So instead of complaining on those "emergency communicators" (not you, Paul
but it was part of the thread) those of us that are interested in items b,
c, d, and e so we may use and experiment with our Amps, should be thankful
for those interested in part a of the Basis and Purpose. Nice there is a
place for allof us. --Mike, WV2ZOW
