Well, it seems the order from on high for KP5 to QRT has
been dismissed as one of those things. Those who worked
them will get the card - myself included.
But my inquiring mind still wants to know who took it
upon them self to decide that KP5 should be cut short.
Rich, N8UX.
I have to wonder about that.
Now keep in mind that following is simply the half-baked the musings of an
idle imagination... so please don't start rumors that this IS what
happened...
But suppose that some amateur had a legit concern that the recent KP5
operation was, indeed, authorized and
Not surprised.some bureaocrat/political appointee was mad that he was
not consulted etc
The sad part is that dope runners and others go ashore there all the time
without getting caught.

And now the thread has gone full circle, as we've come right back to where
we started...
The question remains, though, as to WHY this schmuck did what they did.

Whats done is done, no one can do anything about it so it's a closed story.

I agree. Not to punish the schmuck per se, but to make sure that this type
of stunt doesn't happen again.

Understanding what happened so we can minimize the probability that it will
happen again seems like a reasonable course of action.

The schmuck should be punished. It seems pretty obvious to me that it
was someone else who was wanting to go, but didn't have the right
connections to get approval. Then, in a selfish, sour grapes move, he
saw to it that if he couldn't go, nobody would.

It is sad that a simple but clear statement of the recent KP5 operation can
not just be published, apparently. Full disclosure will make everyone sit
easier.
However, after being somewhat involved in operations in XW, VU4, 9N, A5, and
so on, I also know that sometimes nothing can be said
I'll bet there are at least 50 different theories
about the guy that caused the problem.Here is mine. The guy needs
KP5 for aall time new one, he is convinced that FWL has not

these guys have ruined his chance for a
I'm betting he needs something besides KP5 for the top of the honor roll
and called his congressman to make sure no one passes him on the honor

I can tell you whoever this is will spill the beans so to speak
eventually. People just like to brag. I've written about 100's of
cases where it wasn't necessarily good police work that solved it
What nasty rhetoric? There is quite a bit of innuendo going back and
forth, but no nasty rhetoric. I suppose if I had called my Congressman
asking to shut down the operation, I might be sweating a little, but I
don't think anyone considers anything that's been said here nasty
rhetoric.

issue at hand is not the documentation, but who was responsible for the shut

As far
as the proper paperwork etc., all was explained in the release via the Daily DX
