DS>Tom,

DS>TW>For rag chewing with old friends I see no problem with Inter Radio
DS>TW>contacts. But being the pessimist I see some clowns wanting to get DX
DS>TW>credit, grab a rare grid square or using it of build their QSL card
DS>TW>collection. THAT is NOT Ham Radio!

DS>  In that regard, I have to agree with you. But, even though I'm an
DS>Amateur Extra (had to be, to become a Volunteer Examiner Teal Liason), I
DS>spend all my on the air time in the Technician bands, as that's what I
DS>enjoy.

DS>  The only HF I've operated was on the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad
DS>Memorial Day Troop Train back in 2011.

Bad link. I took a quick look at the You Tube A&M Railroad videos but
could not find the One you are talking about.

As a side note I voulnteered at the Campo California Railroad
Museum(Officialy "Pacific South Reilroad Museum") for over 15 Years.
They havew a section of the old San Diego and Arizona Trtack they can
use for a short train ride for hte visitors.
I was mostly interested in Maintance and was the Machinists hepler and
general gopher dabbiling in Pipefitting and Minor Electrical.
