While we're discussing the net, I'd like to ask a question concerning the 
official name of our net.  I notice Tom has been calling it the 
cross-country blind ops net.  Now, I don't care at all  what we call it, but 
considering the fact that it sprang from the blind-hams email list, doesn't 
it make sense to call it the blind-hams net and not the blind-ops net?  Just 
wondering.  lou WA3MIX
