[Moon-net] QSO or not

[Frank Bosse]

Hi all! I was so long a "silent customer" of the moon-net news but in the end I can't be quite anymore. As an operator in ZB2 I execrate some mails here. I ask the question to all the hypocrites: what do you want? To debase our activity? Or don't you really want to hold that there are only men are driving thousends of kilomters, paying the hotel and blowing up the PA for a lot of costs and making so many QSO's in the end? And that we all also make failures especially when you make one qso after the other to bring a lot of stations a new DXCC? And when my freind DF2ZC writes it was a typo-failure in log you feel better to write that it can't be and "something strange" happend during ZB2-dxpedition?? Or another OM makes some mistakes in the program-options of WSJT you think you are right when you pubish in the open spaces of the internet that the operators of the expedition don't respect the rules of EME-QSO's? With the German Nietsche it's my opinion that I can't puke so much as I'm able to eat! I call to all the reviewers sitting at home and logging the Internet-chats from the cover for finding the fly in the ointment: boost your arse and make also an EME- DXpedition and don't make any failure during QSO's and also after it in analysis of the log! And to all the "silent majority": We won't be frustrated and we will make more activities especially for all freinds of the real HAM-spirit in CW and also in JT65. Because a DX-pedition is not the right place to discuss the aspects of digital work vs. work by ears and brain! In ZB2 we satisfied both fractions. Who there has other priorities is not to be obliged to call us at the places we will still want to go.

> You can "think" that you hear a certain call in CW when you listen long

> 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
