Recently I told of a killer hour I had as the result of ease dropping on
another contest clubs packet spots. The vast majority of those were put out
by the second twenty meter operator at one large multi-multi.
While I was not the intended benefactor of this information, I think it is
obvious that not just the m-m guys benefit from the packet....they to a large
extent can really fuel it!
KM9P's suggestion of m-m stations abstaining is an interesting one in that it
should only leave m-s and s-a stations on line. The complexion of the
spotting would change a lot based on my observations from afar.
Bill what is your interest in not having the m-m input? Are you looking to
compare the m-m's operators against each other on a more "level" operating
field?

My life is complete. I've finally caught Stan dead wrong on
something.
AU CONTRAIRE, CHER STAN! Rohn DOES do it. See the back of
drawing C-731105 R2 "Tower Grounding Methods", contained in
all the Rohn catalogs I have here, where there are three
photos labelled: "Proper Anchor Installations." The photo
in the lower left hand corner is labelled: "10' "I" Beam
stub anchor with nicopress sleeves and safety wire"
Ha!

Well I guess I'm guilty of premature efactuation, it happens at my age.
We appreciate your honesty and promptly DQ you, but you still have
to keep that jar of anchovies awarded to you.
Also, the next time I set an anchor post, we will deposit your certificate
of merit (for your honesty), a gold card, a tucker catalogue, telnet/
packet software and a Snapple bottle (official contest beverage) into
that little black hole.
Regretfully yours,
dr. Bafoofnik
p.s. Would be ok if I kept the Tucker catalogue anyways?
