  • Dave, AF5U, says he likes the style of the show and other kind words.
  • Ray, KO4RB, likes the episodes on batteries and asks about using battery power for the home station, like an uninterruptible power supply for computers. Looks like a great topic for a future show.

Richard talks about an exchange he saw on a newsgroup about restrictions being placed on what can or cannot be discussed on a club's repeater, specifically, religion and politics. Is this a freedom of speech issue?
