Scott, I never meant we shouldn't discuss certain subjects. Not at all. IBOC, stations being off, etc are all relative to our hobby. I must admit that I have been guilty of negative comments on IBOC. But I never point them to a certain station. It is the stations business if they buy IBOC or not. It is not ours. They have a business to run like any business. They decide on what might make a profit for their company. I do feel that some engineers do read our postings. Infact I know of a couple that are not on the IRCA list that have read my postings elsewhere. I am sure some station personal are not DXer friendly. That has always been the case. I remember getting a QSL from a station in AZ back in 1965. The GM stated that the station has a policy not to reply to DX reports, but since mine was the first from the 49th state, he did reply. A couple years later when I heard them again, after moving back to Oregon, I reverified the station and got a very friendly letter from the new CE. So things change. I have seen that over and over again. But it concerns me when people do threaten or badmouth the hand that feeds us. Some of our postings do get read elsewhere. There are a fair number of CEs that are also DXers. Some are still active on MW & SW and of course many are Hams.
