Re: [DX-CHAT] [DX-News] BS7H, Scarborough Reef
I agree with John, N6JM. I've met Martti and he is a fine gentleman plus Martti is responsible for instigating and attaining ARRL recognition, approval and acceptance for more new DX countries (entities) than any one else from the time I got my license in January of 1980.

Re: [DX-CHAT] [DX-News] BS7H, Scarborough Reef
No no guys, actually, Nelson has a point. After all, if it hadn't been for all of Martti's hard work and dedication (along with that of many others involved) in helping to discover that Scarborough could qualify as a new entity, and then in making it so, why we wouldn't have any scaffold reef arguments ongoing, would we? (*sarcasm mode now off*) Now I don't know how some of you feel, but I too have had a few opportunities to actually meet Martti, and even though he doesn't care for my call sign, he is a true gentleman, and one of the best world ambassadors for amateur radio that we have (and may have ever had). I could go on for many paragraphs, but most of you arleady know this... and he hardly needs defending from anyone, least of all me. But I will say this much: I have read many anti-OH2BH posts over the years, primarily over on a DX reflector not sponsored by the NJDXA. Few if any deal with even a smite of factual information. Most deal with innuendo, snide personal remarks, and downright lies. The general impression I have is that most of these characters are down right jealous and as a result would prefer to sling mud and try to bring Martti down to their level. In short, he deserves much better than he gets from these characters. And I believe that from the rest of us, he does. 73, ron wn3vaw You used up all the glue ON PURPOSE!
