Okay, I have to admit... y'all can let the air out of my tires, clobber
my front ends, and bend my yagis into pretzels.
That was ME on Watchusett, I think? I told the guy a few minutes, as I
had a schedule I was on for a little while. Well... I then put 40 Watts
of 3 1/2 GHz RF into the front end of my 3 and 5 Gig transverters (and 2
was deaf for some other reason). Sorry, but I wasn't in much of a mood
to play radio while trying to figure out why I couldn't hear anything.

Then this supports the idea that the "problem" (if there is one) of
"captive
rovers" (if they actually exist) is miniscule, and inconsequential to
the
overall outcome of an event. Hardly worthy of legislating against.

PS...I'd have been torked had a rover next to me refused to work me,
too. That
kind of ungentlemanly response would have at least assured that I stuck
around
to call CQ within 10-KHz of their working frequency until they knuckled
under.

Of course I'm kidding...right? hehehehe
