Hi all...There has been rumors of  a couple of topband dxers in VK 
making use of SDR technology...As far as I am concerned it is plainly 
cheating if one claims a Dx contact using an SDR located in another Dx 
zone as a receiving aid...

I certainly wouldn't confirm a contact if I found out that an SDR was 
used to make it...

Real hams stand on their own two feet..Most of the fun of topband is 
striving to make the home station as efficient as is possible...If 
future contacts are going to be legitimised using SDR technology, then 
those users certainly are not welcome in my radio shack..


Happy New Year for 2010..
