[Heathkit] HW-18-2

[Bill Kuhn]

That's specifically why I do not support the ARRL.

I'm amazed the FCC doesn't reduce amateur bands. I'm sure they would if
they saw the rudeness and clear violation of operating procedures
practiced by most during contests.

Thankfully the ARRL has been pro contesting since before most on here
were 
born unless you are pushing 90.

The whiners have many underused bands and frequencies to use for those
few 
busy weekends.
