[Elecraft] Signing your posts, KPA1500, KPA500

[Dean L]

I see many new guys on here who constantly dont sign there posts/ name or
call.
Probably of the paranoid...
I personally take offense, be proud!
I'm proud to be a "code" extra, passed  my general in front of an fcc ...
at 13 years old.
Advanced and extra at the VEC . Woo-hoo.

I'm proud of my call (and name) also in my email address.
But I guess in the big picture who cares. Just a courtesy I guess.

73 all
