Hey Bob I tend to agree with you on remote operating, but Im not I consider Bluetooth the same. After all, isnt BT just a short-range replacement for a mic cable, headphone cable, or similar? Dont yo
I have never operated remotely so I am wondering what advantage remote stations have over non-remote stations that you feel they should be in a separate category? Obviously many remote stations are l

Jesus, it seems like you'll make excuses for anything. And make some bad assumptions. I traveled 88,000 miles last year and was at several conferences with hundreds of other attendees - never got COV

Looking at his last sentence, I don't think Rich is advocating against vaccination - exactly the contrary. He seems to be saying it has worked for him and his mother, despite a variety of relatively
