With all due respect to Roger, who's opinion I do respect. the comments quoted below from N1DG are taken out of context. If the context had been clearer, he might not have asked the question. Doug's presentation yesterday at the DX Forum, which led off all of the presentations, was on the

Well do you know the context of the sentence being quoted? Or the fact that I was referring to a study of over 20 dxpeditions including one that uploaded within a week of the end of operations? You will note the phrase uploading early is not in the sentence you quoted me as saying. I was
