Re: [IRCA] DXing Practices and Ethics Question

["Bill KA2EMZ" <ka2emz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay- is that wrong...no....I personally have no objection for ID purposes 
only- but I would draw the line at someone listening via the web and 
claiming instead they did so via radio and garnering a qsl card or adding 
noise to the ID and saving it as an 'aircheck'. Theres enough dishonesty in 
the world- do we have to have it happen in the DX world?

*** Not at all! It's the way many DX'ers here and in Europe operate
today. If the resources are there, we should use them. And it's really
little different from using SW parallels, which we've been doing for
decades.
