Hi,

I think our Italian friends like jokes like this. I could experience it
during my stay at the EDXC Conference in Florence. I think it is a soft sort
of competition between DX clubs.
Unless I intend to give advices to anybody, I do not like such a way of
competition too much and I would not like to live within such an atmosphere
in my country. You never know what your hobby colleage prepares behind your
back... Today it is so easy to distribute fake information worldwide.

GOOD DX,
