To tell the truth, Riley may not be a pitbull, but he is like a terrier once
he gets ahold of one he doesnt let go until he
has got what he wants.  You might go to the ARRL website and read some of
the enforcement letters, particularly the ones regarding power utilties, he
has written.  73 de tim kg6irh.
