Life happens, when you make other plans.

All:
 As of June 12,1997, Wayne Sarosi is off of FIDO and no longer the moderator 
of
the HAM_TECH echo. The reason for Wayne's departure was recent mail problems 
in
the echo itself and a disagreement with the BBS he was a point off of.
 He has asked me to take over as moderator and to find a new co-moderator to
help me out. Wanye has asked me to post his Internet E-mail here for those
interested in antennas,antenna projects and discussions on them.
 You can write E-mail to Wayne at: lobo@megabits.net
 I hope to keep this echo running as smoothly as Wayne has over the years and
hope you will all agree that he has done one heck of a job keeping it all
together and going smooth over the past years.
 Your new Co-moderator in HAM_TECH is Jeff Edmonson.
 Jeff was a huge help in trying to get the missing messages sorted out and to
get contact going with other users of the amateur radio echos to get HAM_TECH
back on its feet again.
 As for the rules of the echo they will stay unchanged for now until such 
ime
as -if- or -when- I sit down and decide to change them.
 If I do change ANY rules it will be done with a VOTE by all members of the
HAM_TECH echo as was done in the past when rules were changed or added.
 The echo rules are to follow this message in another post.
 Thanks..
