We may be low tech but notice who's getting the job done.

The Wall Street Journal is for rich folks, even though I used to read it and it is really a pretty good paper. But no, nothing about the WSJ is cheap or free. I think we won't be reading this one . . .

I have this morning's copy in front of me, but have yet to find te reference on either the print or online editions.

If someone (perhaps the OP) could provide a page cite, I could try to find an online link for subscribers. Otherwise, it's $1 on any local newsstand.

Speaking of 'low tech', isn't Print Media low tech these days? Particularly green-unfriendly newspapers? At least Hams make the most of our resources and that doesn't mean depleting them. Hmmm... makes me think the 'journalist' hasn't seen a modern ham shack.
