[TowerTalk] Fw: Sad day for ham radio

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Some people were actually using pirated software, in at least one case
apparently innocently, in other cases, with apparent knowledge of what
they were doing.  The pirated software was cutting drastically his sales in
Europe, apparently.

Brian isn't handling it very well, though, in my opinion.
Read the N1RCT web page under News for the most information.

73, doug
