There is an exception with trust servers, that being the patch between the JA
trusted server and the K5TIT trusted server. I wonder if 'other' such patches
could happen ?

We radio amateurs tend to let altruistic goals cloud reality. Ham Radio is NOT

One touch doesn't always work the first time every time. It is good for the JA
station to call, and then wait 30 to 45 seconds and call again. Often the

call sign may not have been updated to G2 also.
Not easy
