Jerry, It's not that big a problem for me, I have no need to try and force my opinion on others - I simply shared my opinion, and when challenged, I responded. As I said, I'm just one of 7,833 members

A recent ARRL news post highlighted the BITX20 group effort to work up a low cost design for a safe ventilator. These are strange times that might offer an opportunity for hams to "make a difference".
