Thanks Pete , for running A great and enjoyable net as always. Lovely to hear everyone on there , and some new ones too, do come back again , HAPPY HAMMING
Yep, very interesting topics on the net including the one about the term YL. I have no objections to the use of the term, although it seems that some ( across the pond ) object quite seriously to the term. I am in my late 60’s but don’t look it hi hi, and get a good feeling when i hear someone say YL. Great net again, thanks pete for keeping an orderly house.
