I used to have one until this came up on this list last time (2 years
ago, maybe?). Deleted it then and there.
In fairness, it didn't get used a lot. I mostly do contests, where I
need that "useless" exchange to prove a valid contact and get the
point/mult or for adding New Ones, where I really only need to see
"599 TU".
But I still don't see the point of those long tapes so I don't have one.
