Re: [IRCA] Rare DX on 1080

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

I second everything Powell has said.

For Willis, or anyone to claim a station is "cheating all the time" is
libelous and just isn't good behavior for us radio DX'ers to do.

Until you have a calibrated and properly operating Field Intensity Meter,
PLEASE styop making these claims someone MUSTbe cheating, in your expert
opinion.

It's comments like "With WKJK in Louisville, KY cheating all the time" that
make stations not want to help out us DX'ers.
