[Lowfer] GROUP ROUNDTABLE

[Andy - KU4XR]

Charlie, I feel the same way, and that's why I brought up the subject
of Echolink previously, to open up another avenue to be able to
participate with. The Ham / Hobby community is made up of a very
ecclectic, diverse group of individuals. How is it said; " you can
please someone, most of the time, Everyone, at different times, but
No One all the time " so ultimately you just do the best you can.
