Mark, I do not know the circumstances, so I cannot comment.
In my high school ham radio club, there were a couple of hams who were
regularly dating a girl in the club, and later told me they considered her
the best kept secret in high school.
The three of them were also members of the chess club, if I remember
correctly.
So were they 2 hams hitting on another ham, or 2 chess club members hitting
on another chess player? Or just 2 guys in high school behaving as their
sexual proclivities led them to behave?
I think the comments about the relative safety of the ham radio community vs
the Internet, chat rooms, etc, is probably right on the mark.
73, and I have enjoyed your commentary on the reflecter on many occasions.
Many thanks for them all.
Rusty, na5tr
