   I think I remember reading years ago that the Commission can ask a Ham to   
   take a Test if The F.C.C. decides that the Ham should take the test.   
      
   I haven't looked at Part 97 for some time but that thought is in the back of   
   my mind.   
      
    EV>But whats a LID to do?   
      
    DS>   Act as a cover on a container (hi hi).   
      
   Thats a Lid or a lid, a LID has a different definition according to T.O.M.   
      
   I never met T.O.M. but I've heard stories about Him and the Tools He uses   
   on LIDs.

   I've always kept at least 5 KC/S away from the edge of any Band I've operated.   
   And since the change to the Rules, I've stayed at least 5 KC/S away from the   
   edge of any SUB-Band I've operated.

    DS> the upgrade, but will have them done this fall.   
      
   Somewhere I saw something about Microsoft having a UPdate for XP.   
   Have You seen anything about that?
