Topband: strange propagation and other threads

Mike, they should, just as if they are physically in the US and vic versa.  In that case the CV control OP is in error.

Interesting topic(s) and I told myself I wouldn't comment. (but I will
anyways, hi !)

 

The one and only issue I have with RHR is when an IT9 station (or anyone
outside the lower 48) is using a USA remote and not signing /W4, /W1, /W6
etc.

No amount of arguing can explain how that is right.(or probably legal).  I
am trying to setup a very small remote station so I can control my 100w and
vertical stn when I am away from home, working late, coffee breaks or
whatever.  Will I succeed? Don't know yet, but I doubt anyone will care if I
am 25kms away from my rig.  If I was working JA's from a big W7 remote and
signing my home call of VE9AA I would expect that others would not find that
palatable.

 

 

I have known folks with 5kW 6m amps and if they work a new one before me, so
what - they had to cheat and have to try and sleep at night and look at that
guy in mirror every morning.  I have come to accept that no matter if DXing,
contesting or awards chasing, others will always find a loophole or "cheat"
and exploit it, be it illegal, immoral, ethical or whatever.  It will
happen.  Until it affects me in some way, live and let live.

 

 

W1QJ is indeed a good guy.  He did over my SB-220 into a 6m amp and made a
few small cosmetic changes at no extra charge.

 

Although I don't always agree with W8JI, I would be sorry to see him go.
(so please don't)

 

I still find 160m and 6m to be much more gentlemanly and cordial than the
other bands.  Out of 200+ msg's, I find the overwhelming majority to be
civil.  Let's keep 160 (and 6 !) that way.
