Steve -
This is the paragraph all Little Pistols should have engraved on a plaque
and placed on the wall. Until they get enough plaques of their own, in
which case it will no longer be required.
Big Guns need no additional plaques, but *do* need to consider the
presence of Little Pistols on nights when propagation is good. Listen
for that extra second, perhaps eschewing the urge to put the DX in the log
yet again, in favor of giving another the opportunity to do it for that
very special First Time.
Thanks for the thoughtful post.
73, Ward N0AX
