Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since my last post to the reflector, but I currently have 
lots of time on my hands (maybe too much)while my broken left arm (upper end of 
humerus bone) mends.  I hope you will read this in the way it is indended - - 
simply for information, not criticism.

The Elecraft reflector is one of the best I've ever read.  Its users are 
thoughtful and well-informed IMHO.  But I cannot resist the urge to clarify the 
difference between two frequently misspelled or misused homonyms: ITS and IT'S. 

The contraction "it's" literally means "it is."  However, as I recall from the 
tough syntax lessons I learned, the possessive pronoun "its" takes no 
apostrophe to indicate the possessive sense we intend.

Thanks for the bandwidth, and drop me a note if you'd care to indulge me in a 
CW QSO.  But be warned: even a broken left arm makes CW tough to generate, even 
for a right-handed ham :~).

73,

Steve Banks
