There's always a Grinch -- but, as you say, it's the Grinch's loss, not ours.

Merry Christmas!

After I posted that email, I remembered that it was a Christmas Day in
1987, I was offshore Haifa Harbor awaiting berthing instructions.  So close
to land but so far away.  My worst Christmas that put me in a sour mood was
when I was nearing Singapore and I heard some W3's and W2's on 7 MHz Morse,
i called them to make a contact with someone from "home" and they told me
they didn't want to talk to me because I wasn't DX - I explained I was 30
miles from Singapore.  No good, not even for a Merry Christmas from home.

That got me anti-DXer for quite a while, but I realized later that it was
just two jerks who were chatting among themselves because no one was on
from Asia.  They could have wished me MX and I'd have had a great day.

Their loss, they had good signals though, it was about 6 AM S'pore time.
