Hello LFers,

I've been reading the mail on this reflector for months and always
find it informative, be the subject technical, operational, or even
something more obscure.

I've found it disturbing to read the postings of late concerning the
use of the slice of spectrum that you fellows have temporarily
been given access to.

I think that we as amateurs need to keep in mind that what we do
is for pleasure, as in any hobby.  Some of us are operators, some
are experimenters, and some enjoy both, as well as other aspects
of our great hobby.

Without appearing to be biased, I do have to say that I agree with
the comments of Alan Melia and Jim Moritz regarding the use of
the 500 kHz. "band".  However, I think that there is room for
everyone if we all remember to be gentlemen.

Thanks for letting me comment from across the pond.
