[Elecraft] OT elecraf/K4TMC??

[Gary K9GS]

I ran a scan using Malwarebytes and Spybot S&D and had no hits.  I ended 
up blocking k4tmc at aol.com at the server level and this seems to have 
solved the problem.  Sorry Harry that this happened to you.  I've seen 
this happen on other list servers before but never to this extent.  If I 
recall they were on YahooGroups and Yahoo must take pretty quick actions 
to solve because it never lasts long.

I really hate spammers......

Not sure how it happened, but I started getting hundreds of failed email notes in my spam filter.  Since no one notified me of the issue, I was not aware of it until yesterday afternoon.
