Rick, While I can appreciate the time you've put into your analysis, I have to sum it up as follows: - Because we cannot trust anyone to be honest, we all have to surrender to those few who cheat and

Charly, You've got a few years on me in this game, but I have been contesting for 40 years now, so I think I've got some "cred" when I generally disagree with your summary. I don't think there is nea

Mario, Your analysis is not correct. It has nothing to do with EK3LR spots as I would not have seen them. Locally, this is blocked from the K3LR system and we don't see them or send them out. It is t

Add the 20 EK1LZ spots to all the others and it becomes a big problem. 20 bad calls each spotted 20 times is 400 bad spots. When you look at the problem collectively, it becomes more apparent as to t

First of all, I suspect there are far more than 400 errors out of 1 million spots. The % is definitely far higher than .04%. I did my time with this error-prone RBN by clearing the bad spots from the
