[Elecraft] TVI and More

[Bob Liesen]

I find this sage advice.  In years past once my neighbors discovered I was
a ham, I was blamed for everything from vacuum cleaners not working to
their kids getting colds.  And no, I am NOT exaggerating.  In today's world
I can't begin to imagine the "perceived liability" that could result from
these interactions.  I don't tell >ANYONE< living near me I am a ham.
