Mal,

Some suggestions:

   1. *More* people should use WSPR - lots of stations (more than 100 at a
   time based on 10MHz usage) are able to operate together within just a 200Hz
   slice of the band allowing very useful data on propagation and station
   performance/changes to be determined.  This would leave plenty of room
   elsewhere in the band for CW and other narrowband conversational modes.
   2. Occasional testing with SSB, for those allowed to use it (not UK), is
   of interest to me as a listener, but I agree that it's *not* a good idea
   to use this mode when the band is open for really long-distance DX if
   interference to weak signals is likely.
   3. You should try a New Year resolution: "I will be more tolerant and
   moan less".

73s and a happy New Year to all on this reflector
