[Elecraft] eHam Article

[Douglas Westover]

It is apparently the rant of someone who expected his
timeless prose to show up on eHam as soon as he had
expected. This became a diatribe against eHam and those
nasty old "advertisers" (read  "Evil Large Corporations",
file a complaint with Ralph Nader!). A posting from an
eHame official pointed out that he had many submissions
and couldn't post all of them at the same time and that
this particular submission would have been posted in
a couple of days..but certainly not now!

There really should be no place on this reflector for
such unfounded rants! IMHO.
