[Elecraft] Signing your posts, KPA1500, KPA500

[Fred Jensen]

I use a little add-on for T-bird called QuickText [free].  You can have 
any number of signatures and/or canned items that go into the message 
wherever you wish.  I'm sure there are others just like it for other 
email clients.

It just seems like common courtesy.  I include my location because we 
moved from 40+ years in CA in 2015, and I'm still a "six" in 
"seven-land".  Then again, some folks write things I'm sure they'd 
rather not have their name/call identified with. [:-)

73,
