Your posting is posted to Yankland for two reasons....

1. You cross-posted to rec.radio.amateur.policy and
rec.radio.amateur.misc
which although being international fora, also get sent to 3rd World
places like Yankland.

2. The google archive (formerly Deja Vu) sucks articles
from all over the globe, even, for example those in the Britland
hierarchy.
