We already have way too much fracturing of the mil-radio community.
There are lists upon lists, with very little "cross-pollination"
of ideas from one list to the others.  Many more people might
become interested in your systems if they got to read about them
on the already-established lists.  In fact, the best thing that
could happen to our community would be to decommission a bunch
of these "single issue" lists, with their onesie-twosie posts,
and get everyone back on the same page.  I have a DELETE key
and I don't mind using it for things that don't interest me.
But I'll never learn of and become interested in *your*
radio if you never tell me about it, because you're off on 
some small, single-issue list with a few dozen others.
If you want interest in *your* radios to grow,
you have to be where the readers are.  
Two lists: one for radios up to the end of WWII 
and another for everything after WWII, would serve the 
community splendidly, providing exposure for *your* new ideas 
and interests to the maximum number of users.

I have limited my activity to two mil-radio reflectors.
I tried joining a few of the "single issue" lists,
but find it cost more in time to mess with them 
than information I can get from them.  
I do miss hearing from all the people
who have isolated themselves 
from the rest of the community on these lists.
