[ICOM] Resignation.

[Thomas Smith]

I Too will miss Mike on this forum ... He has a mind like a Steel-Trap and
I'm sure he has Lot's more he could help some of us ICOM folks with!

I also know he's in LOVE with his new Yeasu FT-5000 ... But he's lot a lot
of miles on ICOM equipment!  Not to mention being a LONG time Good Friend
(Not only to me, but also my whole Family, which is getting smaller each
year now days with the loss of my Dear Mother -W5DPD-in 1993 and this May
my Dear Dad-K5VRF-) ....
