Hi folks.


In amateur radio parlance, "homebrew" means "to make one's own
equipment". *It's a metaphor that _refers_ to the act of brewing one's
own beer -- it doesn't literally mean amateur radio operators who also
brew beer.

(Although I'll bet that radio amateurs who build their own equipment are
also more likely to brew their own beer).

Sorry I thought I took this message out. I built my own ham equipment
back in the day. In fact I'm selling some 6M equipment if anybody is
interested. But ya, I thought I deleted this email. Wasn't paying
attention to the group name. Sorry about that.
