[Mobile-Portable] Types of fuses

[N5WV]

Gary  ,  Thanks for telling me. Im using Comcast "Smart Zone". I have heard when I was on the Icom reflector that some of these major online services experience problems with the reflectors. AOL was creating problems at one time but Im thinking it was just not allowing the bounces and confusing them with spam or something. While I have you here Im so happy for Adam. Over the years I have emailed the manufacturer telling of his outstanding contributions over the years from the time of the "printed" newsletter to the internet. Im sure others did too.  Anyway I hope this helps. If you ever need to just hit me direct at n5wv at comcast.net .     73  ,   de  Randy  N5WV  /  LL

Randy, 

What email program are you using? For some reason 
Eudora which I am using does not word wrap your posts.
