[net.ham-radio] hams vs SWL's

From:  Richard Shapiro <RSHAPIRO@BBNA.ARPA>

Let me pose this question explicitly so that I don't commit another
faux pas:

Do hams dislike seeing questions regarding items of interest to
SWLs on this mailing list?

I've been assuming that (1) anyone with interests in international
radio in general would be at least somewhat interested in
b'cast-band activity and (2) this mailng list serves, in part,
those with interests in general international radio. The conclusion
is obvious: that SWL-type questions are approriate here.

If either or both of these is wrong, let me know and I'll quit
asking questions like the one about music on shortwave.

I am a ham and I am interested in receiving SWL messages. If anyone does
not want to read any message  (either ham or SWL) he/she has an
option/right to delete it. Please be polite. TNX

Here at Xerox we have two distribition lists, one for Hams and one for
SWL's.  I am on both.  However, since you have no control over where the
message goes, I find it great to hear about SWL on the Ham news.
Generally, that DL is not overtaxed and should cause no bother.

Keep up the good work.
