Dear Nikolay, UY0ZG !
 
Can you please stop shitting on your Ukranian colleagues at least in the 
international group ! Believe me — It’s not interesting to anyone here. 
Moreover — everybody @ Russian QRZ.ru Forums are so much tired of your trolling 
and whinning that you have been already banned by many moderators.  And now I 
see you've found a new loophole for your restless temper. Be aware that this 
resource was not created for those who have a desire and habit to keep throwing 
mud at everything like you, man! 
No matter whether you’re an experienced Topbander or just a starter  — you 
should respect another subscribers here. Just look what other people are 
writing about here. Better share your antenna experiments and TB DXing issues, 
achievements or any other TB related topics and you’ll be more than welcome!  
 
I wish you a «miraculous healing» from this fancy and bizarre style of 
communication, which you have repeatedly demonstrated to us on the pages of 
this thematic reflector
 
Best 73’s from friendly Russia !
 
Dima, UA3AGW
