Dick,

I went back and read the thread and the frequency suggested was 3599 kcs
for BA CW.

Unfortunately, the thread has turned into a free-for-all rant among
those who have pent up grievances against all sorts of things from band
plans to contest operators to "dumbing down" the license procedures. It
is really a shame to see a simple and straightforward suggestion
provoking such an explosion of pent up antagonisms. I don't know what
the future of the frequency will be, given these circumstances.

I was at first very disappointed and alarmed by the red-necked responses in
this thread, and (may I say at the risk of a further outburst of hostility)
what the rest of us in the world have come to expect as typical American
arrogant behaviour. But then I was very happy to see a considerable
softening of attitude following a particularly poignant posting. The
original posting was innocent enough. And a few of the latest have a much
more conciliatory tone. I love CW but send it as though with my left foot
(as I am told). But someone somewhere has only his left foot to send it with
and is grateful enough for that. So live and let live, I say. 73 all.
