Im always temped to post the calls of the (many) pile up lids on the cluster
and have seen people do it only to incite a flame contest. I also think fat
headed lids are so dense it wouldn't change their behavior. But I really wish
the damn DX station would work them to get rid of them THEN ADD "not in log".
Maybe a new Q signal for same. QLD. Not in log because of lid behavior.
