Hi Bob,

I've heard it's friendly fire.  Our friends the Australians have a new toy, 
Over the Horizon Radar.  I read this on one of the other reflectors in a 
message from an Aussie.  I don't recall which reflector or which Aussie.

Maybe we have a chance of stopping this one with compliant through the proper 
channels.
