Alan, don?t be so tough on Steve. Sure he tends to repeatedly LOVE his
new toys, and berate his old ones excessively on the net. We all tend
to do that to some extent? (OK, so our swings are not quite as wide.
And most of us don?t feel the need to publicly contradict ourselves.)
Steve, I look forward to your inevitable purchase of a Kenwood or an
Icom and your reviling of FT-1000MP. (Have those clipped leading CW
elements drawn any comments? Are those expensive filters really as
poorly shaped as I?ve heard? And what is that brown stuff they make
those circuit boards out of anyway? Does it really soak up moisture and
detune circuits over time?)
This has always been an inclusive group. And I?m glad that there is
room for the fallen along with the redeemed! :)
