Thank you for those figures Ray, they confirm what I said in a previous
bulletin about results per capita.
It is easy for sour grapes to bring derogatory comments but not so easy to
find evidence to confirm those comments. Packet seems to attract an
inordinate amount of comment on Australia, mainly from those who have
never even seen the place. We have had many megabytes of stuff backed by
quotes from the Internet but not much from first hand experience.Why
Australia? Beats me.
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
