I believe I would throw in have FUN....after all life is way to short
not to have FUN when doing what you like to do. As far as captive
rovers...which seems to be a big topic on this list...I believe they
exist and I also believe that until there is a change to the rules then
we have to rely on the honor system and for us to set the example in
conducting ourselves in a sportsmanlike manner. I'm afraid all the
griping will do nothing...but perhaps examples could be set and it will
rub off.
Hope to work a few of the rovers with my puny QRP setup and attic
antennas. Will be on 6, 2, and 432.
73,
