================ HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE DOUBTS =========================
=======================================
K3BU (see later in this message) is raising doubts about IG9/IV3TAN CQWW96
SSB results.
Is there a technical/magical breakthrough we should all hear about?
Do you know anything about it?
What do you think about it?
If K3BU is right, can anything be done about it in the future?
73's ye all, de Zaile.
P.S. As the issue is the subject, I decided not to sign by my callsign.
I won't be around for awhile, so I won't be able to reffer to return mail.
Feel free to ponder the issue publicly.
