Best case - What you are doing is to tune something in, look it up a

log is worthless.

Why is that worthless?

I've been in the hobby coming up on 40 years. In my years in high school and
college I studied a slew of languages. The first thing I do is try to identify
the language or language group. Then I use several databases, including HFCC,
ILG, EiBi to make an educated guess. Then I listen up to three or minutes
usually, until I can pick up on what's being talked about. Not really that
difficult. I never claimed any of this stuff to be DX info. I'm just listing
what I'm hearing. Anyone with a radio with an external antenna ought to be able
to confirm any list I provide.

But ignore Telamon. He's a COMPLETE off-the-wall loon. Is he STILL making
constant delusions about me not even having a radio?

That's why he was one of the first to go into the killfile. This NG is much
more enjoyable without seeing their posts. It would be better still, if you
didn't re-post their attempts to try to lure me into fighting with them.

Radio can be fun.
