Who cares if you're the first or second who heard a station. You've heard it, that's what counts and then I'm happy for you. More disturbing I find people who show off with stations they didn't hear. The other reason why I posted comments on the ILG is that this is the ultimate listloggers guide. Just wait and watch when this publication becomes popular again: you'll see the most exotic loggings from people you otherwise never hear of.

If you have known him you know how selflessly and devoted he was in sharing this hobby with everybody. I think some people better start reconsidering DXing as a hobby, not a competition.
