There is no way for multiple calls to be attached to a specific SE call for the same time period. If you apply for the call, you will be responsible for the behavior of the other stations using the call. This has worked out well for the stations involved in the 13 Colonies Special Event, over the Fourth of July holiday. http://www.13colonies.info/Dennis K2L/KG4RUL South Carolina |

The most fun you can have during a contest is moving hundreds of people up the band by posting a fake exotic call on a DX reflector... Hundreds of people calling a station they didn't even hear because it didn't exist.. Clears up the portion of the band you are really using for contacts..very quickly the most fun you can have during a contest.. BTW don't use you call on the internet reflector sign in with a different call.. That isn't the most douche-baggy thing I have ever heard, but it's close.  Let me see if I have this straight: you don't like dealing with the same interference that all American amateurs are required by regulation to tolerate, so you pose as someone else, post a false spot and think that'll clear "your" frequency (to which you are by no means entitled) for more than a few seconds? If that's your idea of "fun", you really ought to get out of your mother's basement. Because to normally socialized humans, that's called "being a pr!ck." Bob WP2XX Bob, you got it wrong. This scumbag can't possibly have anything that resembles a "pr!ck". |

Having once made the mistake of putting a 47 RST on a QSL card, I now put either a 59 or 599 as appropriate. The Ham that got the 47 E-Mailed me to berate me for not giving him the 59 he DESERVED, irrespective of the fact that his signal WAS a 47. After a flurry of E-Mails were exchanged, I ended up filtering out his several addresses and he FINALLY went away mad but, he did go away!

Bottom line here is that Microsoft will force some major customers into the LINUX camp. When the cost of software rewrites, to accommodate the latest-and-greatest version of Windows, exceeds the costs of rewriting to the LINUX platform, coupled with the lower cost of the LINUX OS, productivity software such as OpenOffice and required hardware, the money will drive the decision making process.
Keep in mind that there is a significant amount of text-based, business software still in use today. The Windows environment is not always the best fit.

The charger for my Wife's VXR-5 behaves the same way. It can take up to 24 hours if the battery was fully depleted for the red light to stop flashing and even as long for the green light to come on.

No problems with any orders. I think you need to give them a chance to correct the error BEFORE you decide to go into a public rant.
