more LIDS).
Then.....(as Shaggy and Scooby pull the mask off of the crook)
I hypothesize that the multiple spots were made by ENEMIES of the stations
being spotted in order to sabotage their scores.....
de k3ft... Now THERE'S a ponderment, indeed! Seriously, does anyone think that
this
tactic REALLY has any value? As my job requires me to think of things which may
be used
to screw up the works so I can plan 'countermeasures' for the 'what if'
scenario, I
find myself seriously wondering if that tactice would, indeed, have such an
effect as
N4GI (tongue in cheek) references?
My intial thought is to say NO, because a highly prized (rare) station is going
to be
pounced upon anyway and have a hellish pileup BUT such a tactic WOULD serve to
overload
the calling side by raising the QRM level by several orders of magnitude. Call
it
'PUDOS' PileUp Denial Of Service attack.
I got it! When it happens we will have
PUDOS! (PEW DOS) That defines the syndrome and the stench surrounding such a
mess.
