I'm not volunteering to to moderate such a reflector, but do offer a name
for consideration: "Red Hot Radio". This harks back to the days of early
rock and roll to the Billy Riley hit "Red Hot" in which the theme is about
the relative merits of girlfriends ("gals").

So, my variation on the theme is "My rig is red hot, your rig ain't doodlie
squat!"

BTW, although I love my Icom rigs (765, 756, and 775DSP), and even a fully
modified FT-1000mp, I gravitate to the Elecraft K2 in contests due to its
great receiver.
