  • 4X4BB-excellent and thank you

    Though perhaps not a lot of ham radio specific, this interview was appropriate, timely, and necessary…. I hope every radio amateur hears this. In the USA and much of the world is never facet with such challenges… at least not yet…perhaps we should consider such circumstances. Best wishes nor better times. Excellent QSO. 73, Bill AH6FC, Kamuela,HI
