Wow i did not think that my comments would provoke this many postings.
Look, in this case of the PY ham and also being a relatively
inexperienced contester myself
i did not believe in the policy of shoot first and ask questions later which
took place.
Your responses (mostly all negative) have been noted which i will put down to
experience,
and dread the day that i make my next mistake in this hobby.
Can we now move on.
Thanks
