Re: [HCDX]: An Open Rebuttal to Bob Padula

FWIW, I feel you make a valid point.  Frequency is a key 
component in the sometimes subconsious process of ID'ing a 
station.

In the 30+ years I have been a mostly SWBC DX'er, I have served 
as an editor more than once.  When submitting a logging, the 
editors role is to make sure the information is basically correct and 
to format the information for presentation to the reader.

A loggings frequency is important and with todays technology, its certainly 
possible to accurately to carry it out 2 places.  If one were listening to 3305 
and heard programing that was South Seas oriented, knowing if 
the frequency were 3304.8 or 3305 would be a key information 
component to a conclusion that one were listening to RRI Dili or R. 
Western in PNG. 

Having a good idea of what a DX'er thinks they hear helps us "set 
up" mentally for an often difficult to hear ID voiced most times in a 
foreign language to us.
