Uh uh.  The hams are riled up.  And this time I had nothing to do with it.

As a result of a report in Forbes, there has
been some discussion that Nextel is 
trademarkin'  Push to Talk and PTT.

I don't know whether they're gonna be
rearends about it like QVC, whose lawyers threatened a
ham whose suffix was QVC or nice guys like
Motorola who let hams use Quick Call,
PL, etc with impunity.

Just a heads up, as I think there are some
Nextel folks in the area.  Might wanna
use Release to Listen and RTL until
we get an idea how agressive there lawyers
are gonna be.
