Topband: What IS troubling about this report....

[G3OIT]

> As a guy with no lap top in the shack---hence, no immediate access to on-line chat rooms, spotting sites, etc.---what I hate most are those DX-Peditions that repeatedly work stations without ID'ing, or ID'ing only after some two dozen, or more, QSOs...

Amen to that!  Many's the time I've listened to a (CW) pileup where 
20-30 stations have been worked with never a hint of the DX's callsign - 
or the callsign sent once at 80wpm (I'm not that good!).

It's galling, to say the least.

I suppose I could repair the old laptop and install it in the shack. 
Come to that, I could work the chap on the internet...
