[Heathkit] Hollow State QRP Transmitter Kit

[Ralph]

I must agree with you Bob. I was insulted to be called a bastard. My 
grandson (14) newly licenced was apalled that someone would talk like that 
in the "Ham world". We will not remove ourselves from this reflector for now 
but this should not happen in the future.
Best regards,
Ralph
