[GreenKeys] ITTY Europe channel

Fri Apr 13 07:47:28 EDT 2018

Martin, 

It is definitely not a cost issue. It is partly about being green, and partly about reducing wear on the equipment (eventually the ST-8000A will wear out). If nobody was using the channel, it would have been a waste to keep it running. If someone is using it, then that’s all I needed to hear. As you wrote: it is for the love and support of our hobby. I have no problem with that.

All,
Thank you for your responses. Since a number of you find it valuable, we will gladly leave the channel running.

Paul
