  MultiOperater is not permitted under JAPANESE Radio Law as 7J7ABC.
  It's personal licence.  IT'S SERIOUS!

Damn!  And you were the only GW0 I worked on 10 meters too...

in fact you were the only GW
maybe the only European...
DAMN!  Maybe I didn't even really work ANYBODY on 10!!!
Maybe it was just the guy with the DVK recorder!!!

I mistakenly used an "X" as a place holder in citing the fictional "WX3_" 
as a bad operator during WPX SSB.  I should have typed "W_3_".
I am sorry I cast bad do-do on WX3s, and I will be more careful in the 
future.  de K4VUD

What I can not figure out is this, if I increase my voltage, my current 
increases. The load stays constant. Redo your math formulas fellas.
