Well said!!!!
Sometimes it's hard not to react to the "assorted chaff", but even a
friendly reaction is one too many.........
Besides this I guess this was a good operation for us in EU. Propagation
was good, and sometimes their signals even reached S9+ in the late
afternoon/early evening on the higher bands. (I use an A3S at 45 ft)
Working my around the few (percentage..hi) jammers and alike, I could
work them 12 times from 40 to 10.
