[RFI] What I want for Christmas with regards to RFI

If you look at the entire list of items and the Web

$100-$170 (minimum) may be pocket change for you
but for many Hams around the world, even in the USA,
spending that to dedicate to a project like this isn't.

And no, private & public entities working together
for a common good is quite common, it's nothing like
a political ad whatsoever.
