[CQ-Contest] Destroyed equipment in France

Dear Riki

I think you should  refrain from sending this sort of emails on an international
mailing-list...

1) It is "out of topic" on a contest dedicated reflector
2) It is far beyond the limits of the "ham spirit"
3) Such stupid allegations do not have any place in ham-radio discussions...

Please keep this sort of low-level analysis for the pub...

The recently publicized destruction of the amplifier in France is not
surprising after reading the following article.  It appears that the French
are very careless in these matters.  Conclusion:  Avoid travel to France if
you have anything with you other than typical tourist items, and even then,
be prepared to find some additional things (perhaps explosives) when you
arrive at your destination.  Hopefully, the explosives will not be
discovered by the authorities (which they likely will) - resulting in your
arrest!
