But could you please miss it somewhere else? There are lots of places
where discussions about CW testing are encouraged, this should not
be one of them.
Why? Quite simply I am on this list to find out about Ten-Tec gear and
be in touch with other Ten-Tec users. If I wanted to be on a mailing
list that discussed politics I would subscribe to it.
Speaking of politics, I am really disapointed with the people on this
list. While I have gotten a handful of email about it, I often feel like
I'm the only person who cares that Google has invested lots of money in
BPL. They are one of three companies that gave a BPL company $100,000,000.
(for those that have trouble counting that high, it's ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS)
With that kind of money, there is a good chance that they will succeed and
you can have your $5,000 Ten-Tec rigs and CW tests but all you will hear
on the air is buzzz-buzz-buzz.

Geoff.
