[QCWA] Re: QCWA Digest, Vol 12, Issue 4

[Sitting Bulls Uncle]

After 47 years on the air this is the first time I have seen the term 
"anchor" used in place of "net control station" which I would prefer as a 
traditional amateur radio historical term.  Why would we copycat broadcaster 
terminology into amateur radio,  particularly when it comes to history 
oriented situations?  My preference would be to not only preserve the 
boatanchor radios but also the relevant language usage.
