What on earth leads you to believe such an absurd statement - reading three
postings on usenet? You probably belive all the BS out of Klinton's mouth
too. Kindly refrain from spreading statements which you have no factual
basis to support.

Greetings CWISTS and Boatanchorites:
I will be on again at 0400UTC for the continuing saga of the Sacred and
Most Honorable Friendly Society of Brass Pounding Fist Functioning CWISTS.
Standard time: Friday Nights at 0400UTC
Standard freq: 80 meters --- 3702.5 khz for Novices and SlowSpeeds, et al.
3527.5 khz for Generals and Advanced, et al.
3517.5 khz for Extras and Europeans, et al.
40 meters --- 7102.5 khz (between the heterodynes)
7027.5 khz for Generals and Advanced, et al.
7017.5 khz for Extras and Europeans, et al.
The interest for this weekly function continues to grow. There have
even been some interested Europeans asking about it.
Let us all work together to continue to advance and promote the friendly
use of CW on the amateur radio bands.
Let us continue to assist and help the newcomers and slowspeeds who
are trying to get their CW going.
Let us to continue to promote the use of whatever gear you have up
and available, be it the newest of sorts or the oldest boatanchor.
Remember, CW generation has not changed since the days of arcs,
Alexanderson alternators, and Pliotrons.
Let us continue to promote the sharing and fellowship of the history
and traditions of amateur radio (this includes all you OTs out there
that have all sorts of goodly tidbits of history to relate to the young
squirts on the block, and it includes all you young squirts on the block
who, even though a bit new at CW and radio are the future of the service
hobby or profession).
Let us continue to promote the ``elmering'' of all of our new folks
by the old timers aboard, in any way that we can.
So, OTs aboard, young squirts in the wings, high-speed afficionados of
the art, and slow-speed ragchewers, join in on the fun. If your
equipment is old boatanchor, so what. If your signal is a bit weak or
chirpy, so what. If your antenna is just a mere piece of wire up into
the trees, so what. YOU can still join in and participate.
YOU are the folks who will make it what it can be, a goodly learning
time and an enjoyable evening for all.
See You There OM/YL.....

Anyone who has had experience of receiving NPR, BBC, whatever via satellite,
could you share your equipment experiences ? At one time I remember it being
suggested that an r7000 could be used in a fairly simple system..... Whatever.
Any help would be appreciated...

It was technically illegal, but I do believe there are provisions in the law
to accomodate 'good samaritan' actions. The guy out west who called for help
on his HT out-of-band had his radio confiscated, but i think it was returned.
I wouldn't worry - you did the _right_ thing.
Welcome to Amateur Radio - you are clearly a credit to the service.
