Pete, I don't believe this is a silly discussion and most of your
posed statements are contrary to my thinking. This used to be an
amateur fraternity that shared new circuits, operating techniques,
antenna designs and other pertinent information that would help the
novice as well as the OT. This goes deeper than just allowing Yuri to
make bologna claims, and not allow anyone to check his work. Yuri
infers, without saying, that this will be a commercial project and he
must be compensated for the work he has done in amateur radio.
