Soliciting

I seem to have been getting a lot of private e-mails, lately, with people asking me to post about this or that product on this blog in exchange for "compensation".  "Post about this and I'll give you a free copy of the software" and stuff like that.

I will never post about any products on this blog that are not relevant to Amateur Radio in some way, shape, form or other.  You, my loyal readers, get enough spam in your day to day lives without me foisting more upon you. Rest assured, those e-mails immediately get the "Delete Key treatment".

Every now and then, someone will send me an e-mail about a new kit for a radio or accessory that they are about to, or have recently introduced.  As long as it is related to our hobby, I will gladly post those.  Anything I can do to spread the news about new items is a good thing in my book.  Unfortunately, in those cases, no one ever offers to provide a sample, free of charge for me!  (Just kidding - I'd never accept it, anyway!)

I've been checking QRPSPOTS all night, hoping that K6JSS/5 from Mississippi would post about an appearance on the bands.  So far, the only appearance this week has been on 60 Meters.  That's not a good sign for me as I don't have that band in my K2 and I also don't have the SSB board installed - and heck, the only microphone I own goes with my VHF/UHF mobile rig.  It's only Wednesday, though.  Maybe activity will pick up towards the weekend.
