[IRCA] Sports lists: keep them. RFI versus QRM.



IRCA Crew,

As I said before, sports lists have real DX utility even though I'm not 
using them at the moment. I delete them, but then when I need them I'll have 
to slog and muck around and try to remember where to find them.

The real and continuing problem is getting people to adjust their subject 
lines for a "fit" to the subject materiall. And I sometimes violate that 
myself. What a mother to do? (Does anyone remember that TV commercial, 
whoops, "spot.")

I suggest RFI for poweline or dimmer noise, and QRM for station 
interference. There'll come a day when no one knows what "QRM" means. RFI is 
a real-world term that compurists know.
