[Elecraft] respect of persons

Mon Feb 3 01:22:01 2003

Oh good grief.  I thought that amateur radio was one of the last remaining
places that I could go and not have to deal with someone telling me what
was "politically correct". 

I will from this point on use YCARO (Youth Challenged Amateur Radio
Operator) vs OM.  I hope it makes the politocos happy!!!
