Just to say that I have heard from Steve GW4ALG that Bob G8RW has now

events.  This is yet one more loss to the band.

Indeed a pity. I had some technical correspondence with Bob when he was
starting on LF.

But I really don't understand the fuss about MB7LF. I see it as just another
tool that is available to the LF amateur. It does not occupy any bandwidth
on LF.
And if you don't like it, don't use it.

As a positive effect I see that 2m listeners who happen to listen to  MB7LF
may get interested in LF and join our ranks.
