SV: TopBand: ZD8Z on Top Band

[Henrik Weiss]

Way to Jim, I seldom accuse someone, basically because I think or know =
that the "about to be accused" are just plain unaware or a numnet that =
will soon be taught. DJ7AA has been "profiling" him self for the past 2 =
years, to my knowledge, in many strange ways on the low bands with =
un-natural statements (read DJ7AA =3D The truth). I think that you are =
right to set him straight like you did. That may take him out of his =
SEUDO (look it up) HAM WORLD.

DJ7AA DE ZD8Z:

It has been brought to my attention that on 28 September you posted an=20
e-mail to the Top Band Reflector, snidely insinuating that I ignore=20
European DXers, and that I work Europeans (to my sole advantage??) in =
the=20
contests.  Let me assure you, nothing could be further from the truth! =20
If a signal makes it into my shack, I care not from whence it came, and=20
will work ANYONE, including you, DJ7AA.  My track record of a=20
year-and-a-half on Ascension as ZD8Z in 1968-69, and over the course of=20
some 40 trips to the island since 1989, will show, I believe, that ZD8Z=20
has worked more Europeans on all-bands 160 - 6, THAN ALL OTHER ZD8'S IN=20
HISTORY - COMBINED!

Please keep in mind that although I hold DXCC and have worked at least=20
330 countries over some 42 years of radio, I am NOT a DXer, and couldn't =

care less about anyone's country totals, including yours, and especially =

mine.  However, I have ALWAYS strived to provide new countries to the=20
deserving, often making special schedules and QSY's to other bands, from =

my many DX operations from the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and Western =
Hemisphere.
DJ7AA, if you don't know this, than you must be new to DXing, and should =

be forgiven for your lack of knowledge.

I choose to operate Top Band (and 80/40/30) when I decide, and if it's=20
not at times always favorable to Europe, or any other part of the world, =

then that's just too bad.  Please remember, if it's not a contest, any=20
operations I do on Top Band are strictly for you guys, and if it's not=20
appreciated, believe me I'll feel much more comfortable hugging my =
pillow=20
than dragging my self from sleep to make the trek to the ZD8Z shack to=20
try and pull your puny S-4 signal through the S-9 noise.  DJ7AA, if you=20
think you can do it better, you will of course show us all how it's =
done.

By the way, I see from my ZD8Z log that you made it into my Top Band log =

3 hours after posting your B.S. accusations.  Sorry I missed your =
retraction.


                  Fraternally yours,
