Subject: Re: what identifying information is tied to a callsign?
Well, I'm one to be real and honest, is all. But the thing I'm worried about
more I can't bring up, but to put you all at ease, it's not crime related,
it's something about stuff my parents pulled years ago and won't let go of.
Can't say further.
