[ICOM] Resignation.

[Mike Olbrisch]

Good evening Icom friends.

I have been a member of this list a long time.  Made many friends, received
help and tried to give back too.  But it is at an end.  I sold all my ICOM
gear.  The IC-781 went to a happy home.  The antenna tuner also.  The IC-2KL
had several offers, but finally someone decided it was worth what I was
asking for it, so it too has a new home.  And I even let the R-9000 go.  I
just wasn't using it.  After selling all the accessories, I only had to
cough up a few $$$ for a new radio.  It was time for a change.

Since I no longer own any ICOM gear, I am moving on.  Thanks to you all for
your help over the years.  Thanks to Gary for so many things, including
supporting us in a combat zone (We were surrounded by silicone but couldn't
make diodes).  

And thanks to Dick for running the show.  I still remember one comment made
about Dick after he had to clamp down on the list.  It was "This list ain't
no democracy, it is a DICK-TATER-SHIP".

Who knows.... if ICOM fixes that static discharge sensitivity trouble, and
improves the receivers, I may be back.  My E-mail on QRZ is good if anyone
needs to find me.

Best of luck to you all, and thanks Dick.
