I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what all of the
whining and moaning regardingTO4E is about. Lets cut to the
chase.
1) These people are there at their own expense and on their own
time.
2) They are there, working the best way they can under the
circumstances.
3) They aren't obligated to operate on your schedule.
4) They went over there and put the entity on the air. The rest is
up to you.
5) If you can't cut it, that's just the way it goes.
6) If you think this operation is being handled improperly ,
turn your rig off and start raising the money to mount your
own expedition. I understand that it
takes a minimum of $100,000.00 to get one of these shows off the ground,
so
get cracking.
I'm certainly not a Big Gun. I run four 811A's into a 15 year old
Cushcraft A3. Until two weeks ago, and for 10 years prior to that, I ran
only 100 watts to that same old Cushcraft. I made the honor Roll with
that 100 watts and brought my total to 331. Yesterday it took me about 15
minutes to work this expedition on 10 meter CW. However, I have
stayed in pile-ups for hours and hours to work a new one, and many more
hours trying to figure out where they were and when they would be
on. When I started chasing DX there were no Clusters where I could
complain. I got a newsletter once a week, and the rest was up to
me. Now it's your turn.
