I know, it doesn't bother me any since I'm not the radio operator around
here. Steve has never mentioned it so I guess it doesn't bother him
either. He (and other users--Franklin County ARG) are out working Field
Day today, came home briefly to grab some tools and said that a scout
troop is there, working on the Radio badge.
