*** The issue is not about people Googling the list. It is about
broadcasters - some number opf whom are also DX'ers to some degree -
who are regular subscribers to the list.

*** Since the initial comments ( and title ) also rested on a
presumption which wasn't correct - that there was a requirement for
backup, I'd have to challenge that statement.

One of the points which has come up a few times in this thread is that
whenever any of us is working from presumptions which are not correct
or which cannot be reasonably supported -- and here I have to include
posts which label stations as cheating, which carries with it that the
action results from some willful intent -- problems result.
