No it is not self serving, first audio I have to verify some of this gets 
the free MT Express sub for a year. Sorry I can't take everyone's word on 
this, but I have heard these desigs being passed for years and could not 
verify them in use. My guys and their friends never used them. No place we 
went ever used them. I have NEVER seen them reported here on Milcom in an 
intercept (always in a list from the net), or by any of my regular Fed File, 
Milcom, Ute World etc reporters over the years. Consequently, in my mind for 
all practical purposes they don't exist. But I want to finally put this to 
rest. That is why I have asked for the recording, in case it comes back to 
haunt me at sometime in the future.

Now I know Bill Jones, Radioman and you Steve, and I'm not saying you all 
didn't hear what you heard. But I need some evidence. That is why let's put 
the challenge out there. First one, to send me evidence (electronic or tape) 
for either Magnum or Winchester gets the prize.
