Topband: W8S - on CW

[Wes]

I wrote the quoted message a week ago.

In yesterday's snail mail I received a disjointed letter from an individual 
quoting my post and ranting about my use of FT8, of which he seems to be a fan. 
   Apparently, he is stalking me and keeping up with my DXing activities.  I 
guess that he's upset that I work lots of DXpeditions using FT8 while at once, I 
express some personal distaste for using it.  Little does he know that a couple 
of DX clubs that I am a member of, have bragging rights "competitions", to see 
who can work particular expeditions on the most slots.  So I use the mode for 
that.  Otherwise I have no use for it.

Sorry to trouble the list with this, but this guy went to lengths to hide who 
and where he is.  Maybe this message will cause him to seek help.
