Hi Chet,

You may be better served by asking the individual who makes such a statement.  It is a common prejudicial phrase used by disenfranchised VHFers to support a variety of points-of-view.

Congrats on your #9 USA finish in the ARRL DX Phone entry (multi-op, multi-transmitter), btw.  I don't know why...but your "N8" gets me to spin my antenna the wrong way when I hear you on VHF (I should know better by now). :)
