*** A major part of my point ( although not to dispute the above ) was
that there was no 'real' complainant, no evidence of interference. This
was either a purely political complaint, a complaint by someone with an
axe to grind against the stations. The way this was handled initially
should have killed it right there. There's a basic right in the US to
be able to face your accuser. Didn't happen in this case.

And Pat G, I'm amazed you weren't aware of thjis - it's been flying
around the DX community for some time - I think this is at least the
third time I've seen it referenced.
