Sounds like something custom made for Martti? You sure it's not "Finn
FET"? :-)
Superb signal, and Ollie and Martti are exactly what you'd expect them to be
(although their splits do tend to be a touch wide for my tastes, but what do
I know?)

The 40m CW splits haven't been too bad. Last night they were transmitting
on 7004 and the lowest I heard them work was 7006 (me), the highest was
7015 with the average being between 7007 and 7013. I don't think 6 kHz is
too much to demand for an operation of this magnitude.
I just thought of an interesting question. We all have experienced the
"DX cops" who chide people who QRM or transmit on the DX frequency. I
wonder if these DX cops are people who haven't worked them yet - in other
words, does a particular DX cop disappear once he's worked them in the
pileup? Food for thought on a drizzly, foggy day ...
