Where is everybody??
All I have been getting for the last few weeks is maybe 1,2 or 3
messages a day!
You would think that anyone or all who would be concerned with saving a hobby 
would take advantage of a medium such as this echo to rally!
 
As we should all be aware, there are SEVERAL bills in Washington to severely 
curtail and even eliminate scanning and swl'ing as a legal pastime. One calls 
for making it illegal to listen to "...any signal not specifically intended 
for public broadcast...." what kind of impact will that have on your hobby???
Another would make it a crime merely to have in your possesion a radio 
capable of receiving any restricted transmission. It dosen't even have to be 
turned on!
  
Let's get something going here! What can we do? What should we do?
All Hams, Scannists, and SWL'rs should be concerned.
