[Moon-net] QSO or not

[Gerard van den Berg]

Dear all, sorry for this bandwidt but

I just now noticed that I'm more or less in the middle of the JT65 DS discussion in the ZB2 expd.
After all the discussions on JT65 versus CW I feel it's time for a little reflection from my side.
Let me 1st of all tell you that I'm not pro or contra CW neither pro or contra JT65

I'm "PRO this hobby" no matter what modes are used during what propogations used.
My opinion is that for a complete QSO you will need 2 parties to make it complete,
wether you use JT65 or CW, both times errors can accure, mistakes can be made.
You can "think" that you hear a certain call in CW when you listen long enough to noise.
Also their are examples for false decodes by JT65 users.
I liked the common from EA6VQ approx one year ago to do a CW EME contest only for opr's that
had delated their mind from previous worked CW stations.
Please let us stop this silly discussions and try to enjoy our hobby again.
It's sad to see Jimmy spending so much time hunting JT65 errors that it looks like becoming his religion.
It's also funny to see Jimmy copieing my commonts from the KST chat, I wonder Jimmy how you are 
logged in (fake call) as no one of us ever saw you their, are you secretly watching us making JT65 QSO's
hidden from behind a bush? 
Please Jimmy, come out and play it fair, admit that JT65 is a wunderfull invention in this hobby giving 
loads of Ham's lot's of plessure just like CW does.
OK, you may not like the mode for what ever reasons but please stop annoing us.

Jimmy, it's a pitty you did not paste all my commonts from KST in your mail, my suggestion was to avoid
this possible RO errors to do the same as we (PA2CHR/PE1LWT/PA3FPQ/PE1BTX) did during the november
expedition to LX, we send RO text files  like   RO BTX MHE when working JH0MHEin the pile up.

I understood from Bernd that it was a copy / paste typo error, but even when it was not, you still need
2 stations to complete a QSO,  in this case it was easy for me to claim ZB2 as complete but for what?
I'm only fooling with myselve, so what's the fun?

I hope the commonts from Jimmy will not stop Bernd and Frank to go on expedition again, they did a 
wunderfull job end gave a lot of people a new DXCC.

Great job Bernd and Frank, despite my NC it was an FB operation, pse go on like this.

P.S. Jimmy, when will you do an expedition to a rare DXCC ??
