You make an excellent point about the ever-present recording going on - and 
therefore be mindful of what we say. However, the other side of the coin is 
that we are overly couscous and say little off the straight and narrow, 
tending to make this a boring media.

Can I assume that your "big antenna" comment was directed to a posting of 
mine earlier in the week? I believe if you still have a copy I think you 
will see I was referring to Part 15 2400/f transmissions in preparation for 
the 136k band. I will be sure to make this clear in all future references to 
frequencies and antenna sizes not allowed in the standard definition of 1w 
Lowfer activities. One of my top priorities is to explore TX  loop 
performance well below 100k under the limits of Pt 15 power levels (and use 
BIG loops). I'll be careful not to mislead anyone in any reporting I make, 
and appreciate your bringing this up.

Bill
