[RTTY] ROS policeman on 14101

[Ed Muns]

The financial aspect of some DXpeditions is often the critical factor
determining if the trip even occurs.  There will soon be an announcement
about a major expedition to a highly needed country that has been postponed
because the financial requirements became untenable.  So, it could be that
less-skilled operators who help finance the trips you note below is the
right trade-off compared to not going at all.
