[Yaesu] Wanted QST review on FT-1000 MK 5 Field

[Ted Wright]

Well Put
I am a member as well and enjoy reading QST for all the reasons stated 
in the previous postings. I have also seen people join just for the use 
of free resources they  have. I remember one such case a Pennsylvania 
ham joined only to try and get the backing from the ARRL legal service 
because he thought their may be a fight with his township in the raising 
of a tower .. As soon as this person realized this would not happen he 
never renewed his membership.. How sad is that. If a person is only 
looking for a little information I see nothing wrong with it . As the 
person I have just wrote about looked for much more than just 
information. I guess it's all in how you see it .. Merry Christmas To All
