Re: [HCDX]: Unfair DX ???

[Kenneth R Simon <p003115b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Who said life was "fair?" The whole discussion is a waste as it poses the 
copncept that DXers are all in a massive competition...I TVDX and live in 
South Florida...is it my fault that I have an unfair advantage to the 
South. A friend in Central Florida has seen TV Marti ch 13 in the keys 
from Orlando...is it my fault I have a local on ch 12 that precludes me 
getting Marti...This is a hobby, not a war...
