Gang,

Just want everyone to know that I/we appreciate your comments, whatever they may be - good or not so good! :)

Chuck and I and all the others working on the two systems - qrp-l and qrp-f are doing what we're doing to actually make things better, believe it or not. If we really find that qrp-f has no usefulness or that there is some other "mix" of the two - what is best for each medium/mode, we want to find it.

Along the same line, I hope that I do not come across in any way as "quit your gripen" or that I don't appreciate your comments. I really do. I also hope that I don't offend anyone by the way I respond. I also do NOT take offense to what you say or post. I don't mind getting personal mail (and several have sent me comments) but with a forum, I don't mind you posting your likes/dislikes on here for all to see and comment. About the only thing that is "off limits" is FLAMING.

I think we all are at times not happy with some part of qrp-l or qrp-f. This approach, like I say, is meant to help the cause. Also, we are logging each comment and are giving serious consideration to how we can "fix" things to provide the best service.

So again, I hope I don't offend anyone and also let me say that QRP ARCI is not trying to "horn in" on any of this. We purely/simply as a club are trying to HELP! If we are not or if anyone has an alternative, let us know. We would rather turn off QRP-F than have masses of people upset with us or do anything detrimental to QRP/ham radio. We're trying to be part of the solution. hi hi

Jim.

PS if you want to talk, call me.
