Re: [HCDX] getting a life anyone?

["Robert Montgomery" <RMonty3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You must have read something different than I did.  I reported reading the
fact that Cameroon was coming on line and where I read it.  I did not report
without giving credit as I stated exactly where I read it and who wrote the
column.  Sorry, I can't afford BBC Monitoring and I don't always read Glenns
stuff.  June is not my favorite time for dxing but fishing is more in order
for me.  Everyone assumes the info was ripped off from some where else.  I
know for a fact it did not come from either source after doing some
checking.

I thought it being dx season most would be interested in this info and
decided to post it.  I did not steal anything.

"Peruvian elections - radio round" this past summer without permission. A
fairly large article, as many HCDX readers know, taken from my website

name was. I discovered the copyright violation by
