What's the big deal?
I have been sent to Iraq, GodDanmistan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Somalia,
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Suadi Arabia etc....JUST TO NAME A FEW.....all on
the taxpaxers DOLLAR....and no one is complaining about me operating on
MY off time from some of those places.
I would have done the same thing if I thought I could get away with it!
DX on...

Just like the feds are funding ops from the GI's operating from

my tax dollars did some freakin' good for me for a change. Cripes.
Egos be damned.
Egos? Iraq and Afghanistan. Huh?
I'm just trying to sort this out ... from what I've read, two guys
who are government contractors weasel a free trip (on Uncle Sam) to
a place where they probably shouldn't be - at least not for ham
radio operating, all in the name of "government work". About the
time their little operation gets rolling, somebody in West Virginia
rats them out.
Meanwhile, the response of many of the leading DXers in the US seems
to be to "get even" with the guy who ratted the operation out with
somewhat less concern for condemning the ill-advised nature of the
operation and how this might endanger future DXpeditions.
Have I summed it up correctly or am I missing something?
