Hello List,

That's a good reply from Dan, it would be great to keep the Melbourne
Wireless list as Dan has written in his reply    8-)

Although I do not have much to offer I have learnt many things just by
following threads....  We are a group of people from varying backgrounds
trying to achieve a similar goal in a hobby ( none of us are on a payrole
are we ? ) that gives us a bit of fun and personal satisfaction......

To me this is what's it's all about,

Cheers,

Rob.
