[Boatanchors] belated intro VE8RT

[Bill Cromwell]

I didn't respond to this earlier just because I don't know about 
Canadian regulations. I see a response form somebody who does but with 
the subject of "Digest" = so responding here.

I agree with the question about "who is going to know if the 
thransmitter is not used on the air?". Her isn the USA I had mt station 
all set up and waiting for the license to arrive in the mail. Most of us 
valued the license enough to go through all the required steps and pass 
all the exams. And that includes valuing it enough to NOT transmit 
without the license.

The day my license rrived in the mail there was also a check in the 
mail. I tossed that aside for a while and opened the one from FCC first 
and immediately put the rig on the air with my brand new callsign. 
Excitement!

73,
