Slamming this group is FB, HOWEVER, let's not throw the honest error folks 
(like me) who admit to doing a little of this, in this same package.  By this, I 
mean, the many serious 160 guys in the midwest--especially the upper midwest, 
who rarely hear any Asians other than JA and would never work any of them if 
they occasionally didn't call when they wern't 100% sure.  It's easy to 
complain if you are in the east and can hear these stations 579.  Remember, in 
Northern Minnesota, on a perfect night a huge signal for 4X4 or 5B4 might be 449, 
so don't be too quick to condemn us for an occasional screw up done after a ton 
of listening.  If it's too often, go at it!   Thanks.
