[Steve **KT0DX**]

Rick you must have found two OO's on a bad day as they never do anything 
the other 364 days a year.  When they (OO's) do something about the 
likes of KZ8O located in Michigan then
I might say worry a little about them.  Don't sell yourself out over

in all that you and N0UN talk about in regards to DX operating.

Hang in there!
