I really had to wonder about that. The person starts out saying we need
to name names or give callsigns in the case of someone violating the rules
or being unsportsmanlike, goes off into this tirade and then does't give
HIS own identity. Sheesh!

I believe I have worked the MGEF gang on 6m but otherwise I am a little
out of their normal VHF+ range. However, I have exchanged e-mails with a
few of the members and have met some of them and they all came across as
great guys, the type who would make you proud they are in the ham
community. Brian WA1ZMS, in particular, has been of immense assistance to
me in the past on various microwave projects and has always been willing
to help. And he's done a lot that very few have done. How many of you
have gear for bands above 76 GHz?
