[MRCA] VIRUS CAUTION

[Al Klase]

Hi Steve,

I just reviewed the "Your Tracking # 33582646 (NO-REPLY)" message.  I 
don't see any indication that it's specifically related to the MRCA 
reflector.  Others on the ARC5, boatanchors, and milsurplus qth.net 
lists also received this email.

My virus software gave no indication of a problem.  The attached .zip 
file contains a .doc (MS Word) file that I will not try to open lest it 
contain a new virus that has compromised Word.

I think this is most likely harmless SPAM that has compromised the 
qth.net (owner Al Waller) address lists.  Anyway, delete the damn thing 
and move on.
