There are an awful lot of DXers here, but no DX forum. Is that something we can look into? I like to talk DX but always need to find a forum that works as opposed to a dedicated LZ. Thoughts?

Effen DXers and contesters tying up the bands every weekend, I can't get on anywhere, and NOW, you want your own forum? Next thing you'll want a forum for Winlink, then Maritime mobile net forum, then 60m, then Emcomm, then a "are you a real ham" forum, then a I heart Chuckles forum....where will it all end? Ya bastid. :rofl: :stickpoke:

Those of you who are familiar with the touch-tone test sequence on an ACC850 Repeater Controller might relate to the following string as it's played back on the air:

* 8 # # 8 * 69 69

Our club finally turned the test function off. :roll:

Considering the lack of activity in the existing ham forums, I don't know that we need another subcategory.

I'm all for a subcatagory. Maybe one for aircraft carriers, destroyers, and maybe a generic one for airplanes, too.
