Topband: Strange propagation

[Louis Parascondola]

That is NOT ALL true,  SOME stations are indeed other hams' stations and they get a piece of the action based on what the monthly draw of revenue on the station.  However, MANY and the majority of the sites are owned by them.  They buy property all over and set up these stations.  SO NOT ALL by any means are other hams' stations.

 I don't know whose actual station that is - but I'm sure it is someone's

I will say this:
operating a remote station (for money) owned and managed by someone else 
will never be as satisfying as operating your own station, built by your 
hands. But than again, if you have no station, and are unable to build 
one up, what's your choice? I built (and rebuilt) a beautiful station 
and antenna system here over the past fifteen years, only to see much of 
it destroyed by storms in recent years. Now I am unable to rebuild anymore.
