Hello Mike:
What happens if LPL system spot all NA stations and not V31MU when you're
there???
Will be you happy with that ?
Or imagine that the system don't spot PR stations (common dxcc) and just spot
you every 10 min (uncommon dxcc( , both in NA. it's that's fair ?
That what I mean Mike
It looks CQoIP !!
