   EV>before the Part 97 Rules changed where a General (or Conditional) Class Ham

     With Microsoft ending security updates for Windows 7, I've purchased 3   
   copies of Windows 10 Pro, 32-bit, from a local Best Buy. They were $60

   a copy for each computer here. At least I'm not in a big rush to do the   
   upgrade, but will have them done this fall.   
      
     Hams are frugal cheapskates.
