It wasn't me that gave RM a hard time, but I gotta admit that I almost
missed the part about "I'm not submitting a log" and was reaching for the
Reply button :-) Once I saw that qualification, I relaxed. "Step away from
the keyboard, sir..."
Hey - it *IS* wrong to ask for QTH information after the contest! Either
you got it right during the contest or you didn't...but that's not the case
here.

Be sarcastic (I realize that's probably a humorous aside), but what we
should be able to count on in all walks of Amateur Radio is peer pressure
and self-policing. Did you see the PGA's video on golf and ethics during
the US Open this weekend? Yeah, the sandpaper of enlightenment is often
applied roughly - and even inappropriately on occasion - but its absence is
worse.

busy lately to make a credible effort)
