Hi Holger!

    RM>> The ONLY thing I wanted to express is that I do NOT agree with the   
    RM>> viewpoint that only shortwave is HAM, everything else not.   
    HG> Now you're really barking up the wrong tree.   
      
   Great, so we agree to agree ;))   
      
    HG> I've worked 5-band and 3.5 MHz DXCC, worked on all bands from 3.5MHz   
    HG> to 10GHz, on CW, AM and SSB, built my own gear, among them the first   
    HG> SSB transmitter in OH, and won a lot of contests on HF, VHF, UHF and   
    HG> SHF.   
      
   Very interesting ... never played with extremely high frequencies.   
   The 10GHz was satelite?   
      
    HG> I admit that I'm maybe not an average ham, but that is because of my   
    HG> technical education.   
      
   What I wanted to say is points of view that a majority of HAMs subscribe to.   
      
   In a field that is as diverse as the HAM hobby ... I do not think that there   
   is an average HAM ;))   
   But this is exactly the thing that fascinates me the most.   
   A very diverse comunity, where most encourage the experimentation.   
   Actually that is even in the law here ... technical, experimental radio ;)
