Hi All

I am very angry to see this public lynchihg of Bernd and Frank Expedition , 
this is the worse way we all can go.

1 -  Who will do an expedition if receibed this lynching from " some EME 
comunity  members "  ?
2 -  Jimmy do you seriously think this " QSO police " is the best way to 
attract the new and small EME hams to CW EME QSO ?
3 - even all this I gave my full suport to Bernd and Frank expedition
4 - I encourage to all EME hams to do EME expeditions in any band and 
modality JT65B / CW  , I accept  posible mistake , but apreciate
      a big number of EXCELLENT  EME QSOs , for my this is the most 
important  part on a DX expedition

5 - as all can see I do not work ZB2 expedition on EME , the only reason was 
I never can see my call in any decoded  , hope next time I
      will get more lucky .
