Seems I did not make my point. A large portion of Winlinks popping "out of nowhere" is because some H I D D E N (in the skip zone) user has triggered it. Haven't you ever been in a situation when calling a rare DX on a pileup and he never comes back to you, because the BIG GUNS in the skip zone run over you and you never notice ? Andy, wasn't there another list to discuss this "I hate Winlink" stuff?
