[AMRadio] Thanks for the nice welcome!

Hi Bill

And welcome to the group.  You will find a lot of help here and a bunch 
of great guys.  Any question you have will get a lot of answers so 
anything about your AM hobby is welcome.  That includes audio, feedline, 
antennas, microphones, tuners and anything you will be using on  your 
station.

We have had several new members since I have last posted so I believe I 
should remind all to read the rules.  At the end of each message you 
will find a list of websites and one of them has the rules.  Please read 
them and remember to be respectful to each other.  Probably the biggest 
complaint is a subject that has many posts, some a bit off topic from 
the original question.  Some people don't want to see a multitude of 
posts about a subject but they can lead to interesting and informative 
answers about other subjects in AM radio so we try not to interfere with 
them or the people unless it gets out of hand personally.

If a subject doesn't interest you, then simply delete the posts without 
reading.  Some people receive hundreds of messages each day and, should 
you be one of them, just make a filter for this group in your email 
client and direct all messages into a folder, then you can read or 
delete at your pleasure.  Another thing the moderators and list owner 
hesitates to do is get involved in the list any more than possible other 
than posting answers or questions.  That is a rarity and it is because 
we have a lot of people like you Bill who enjoy this aspect of the hobby 
and treat each other with respect.

Members usually are more active after labor day and through the winter 
to early spring.  So enjoy yourself and jump in any time.  Should you 
need to contact one of us simply go the the "List Home" link and at the 
bottom and you will find our email addresses for administrative 
messages.  Before I forget, attachments are stripped from messages at 
the server and won't come through so if you have a picture to post, you 
can post the link to other servers as you have in your message.
