FROM 1/2 of the VK9LX ( the mean half )

My apologies to the reflector and Bill, but I MUST say something about
this post, If not you may remove me from the reflector.

After rereading this little comment I am really ticked off, I missed
the:

  "Too bad we can't get those ethics in the mainstream today.
> "

If anybody thinks my "ethics" were not good enough for the VK9LX
operation, I will gladly burn all the logbooks and say screw it.

Nick and I can save the money that we were going to spend on QSL cards.

Maybe when my 1981 Ford throws a rod next week I'll have money to fix
it.
Maybe Nick can pay the back rent he owes on his nice little watch repair
shop(I'm sorry Nick, that is a private matter but I couldn't help it
buddy...)

My apologizes to all the GREAT people out there that have to read this
message, I wish I didn't have to write it, but Nick and I sacrificed
alot to put this little operation on the air, and I feel a little peer
pressure is in order.
