[Hammarlund] Re: Separate HQ-180 list...

[Mike McCoy]

Given the suggestion of a separate HQ-180 list and reply below, having
posted a couple HQ-180 questions here I'm suddenly wondering if I'm guilty
of some faux pas?

Is this Hammarlund reflector not the appropriate place to discuss, pose
HQ-180 questions?
