[Elecraft] List overload - It's actually not good for Elecraft's business.

[Dave Cole]

I have to agree with Harry here...  All interesting subjects for the 
most part, but this is an Elecraft list.  Talking about antenna because 
they plug into an Elecraft product is stretching it a bit to call it 
Elecraft related...

Some of the subjects have gotten even further off topic...  It would 
help us folks that are here for Elecraft information to add "OT", (Off 
Topic), to stuff that is not directly related to Elecraft...

73s and thanks,
Dave
