[Boatanchors] New group on Yahoo Groups - For Commercial BroadcastXmitters

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

This is "NOT" an Ad service to promote other groups, especially those that 
are "for profit", as the one you are trying to lure subscribers to.

This is a long standing policy by the owner of the QTH.NET lists, Alan 
Waller, K3TKJ. All of these lists are provided to anyone without any 
subscription fee or other charge. It is a totally non-commercial service, 
that is, NO commercial businesses are allowed to post here. QTH.NET is total 
supported by donations of the list subscribers. Which is totally voluntary.

It makes no difference how good or helpful a list being hosted elsewhere on 
a "for profit" corporate system is, that is not the issue. The issue is that 
you are not supposed to be posting invitations here. Advertise it on your 
web site, or wherever, but not on these subscriber oriented non-profit 
lists. Thank you.

> I recently purchased a Gates BC-1H for restoration and conversion to
> 160M AM. I discovered a few things:
>
> 1. There's a lot of knowledge out there, but you have to hunt for it.
> 2. There's a lot of interest
> 3. Finding parts is not too easy.
> 4. there's not much discussion of the operation of these units on our
> bands, or general discussion of, or experiences with the units being
> explicitly shared.
