	When I re-read the posting I sent, I said to myself what you
state here. I was
	in error on my original post and appreciate the correction, and
the additional
	history you pass along. You know when one gets old, there are
three things
	one loses. One is the memory. I forget the other two....

	I've seen this a lot. Have been a ham AND a MW DXer since the
late '50's
	and SWL interest since the '70's. They seldom mix, When I QSL-d
Falklands
	on 3958 in 1980's hams where I worked said "why would you want
to do that?" ..etc
	(the last QSL I ever sent for, BTW)
