Topband: 160

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Shutting down?

I just don't think continual bashing of people enjoying the hobby is 
good for the hobby.  Cheaters will be dealt with.

What could this "discussion" on this list possible solve?

Sorry you don't like FT-X.  Many don't like CW and SSB but they are not 
on here bashing other hams enjoying the hobby.  Lets raise the bar a 
bit.  I thought this was the gentleman's band.  If Topband is now lets 
continue to criticize and accuse and bash, then by all means continue on.
