Thanks Tony,
I honestly appreciate your reply to my
question. I'm sure you realize that I don't agree with you but life sure
would be dull if everyone agreed about everything. The old saying
"Different strokes for different folks" applies here I'm sure.
Please allow me to make a few comments about what you wrote. How
about the frustration of the "old" ham who has worked them all or nearly all and
is thrilled by the new Challenge Award, just to be jumped on by others when he
tries to work a new band country. And he may or may not be a "Big
Gun". There are many Hams with very modest stations who use their skills,
learned from many years of DXing to compete for the Challenge
Award.
I absolutely agree with you about the name
calling. This is no place for that for any reason.
I must repeat what I wrote a while back about Ed
P5/4L4FN since you mentioned it. I have heard him on several occasions
congratulating callers for working him on 3 bands. This leads me to
believe that if he made that "one contact only" statement at the
beginning of his operation, he has changed his mind. The congratulatory
comments I have heard him make are sincere, not tongue in cheek.
I also wish NEW ONES FOR THE DESERVING on all
bands.
Dave - K4SSU
