- I believe that one of the pillars of ham radio - construction/

- drifting out of ham radio. With Japanese radios which cost so much,
- fewer and fewer hams are willing to risk their warranty to service their

- The latest version of the GNU Emacs FAQ has changed from the previous version.
- This article shows the changed text. The contents of this article are from the
- output of `diff -wu2'. Since the question numbers are generated automatically
- and can change, these are stripped from both versions before comparing them.
- After generating the differences for each part, they were concatenated and then
