Careful about getting caught up in the factual errors. I worked quite a
number of Europeans on 160m the past four evenings.

Careful about getting caught up in your own catch-22s.
Did the DXer lower himself to working a contest? I recall one
notorious DXer saying that working DX in a Contest isn't DXing.
I hope you aren't going to try to attribute such a statement to me.
I never wrote any such thing. There's plenty of DX to be worked in a
contest.

You're damned right there is.

I thought I just said there is.
Are you now unsure?
It just seemed like there was an echo in here.

Things are not always as they seem.

I've been contesting since before I ever chased DX.
Have you ever heard a new one during an IOTA contest?
An IOTA contest? I've never participated in an IOTA contest. I have no
interest in Islands On The Air.
Of course not. No islands are on the ten most wanted list.
I didn't write that I have no interest in islands on the air. I wrote
that I have no interest in Islands On The Air. Do you know what is on
the 10 mosted needed countries list or the 100 most needed countries
list? Do you know which countries I need or which band or mode on which
I need them?

Did I say I knew which countries you need or which band/mode you
needed them on?

I gave you the 2001 list earlier. Here's the Fall 2006 top ten:

1 BS7 SCARBOROUGH 1
2 VU7 LAKSHADWEEP 2
3 P5 NORTH KOREA 3
4 7O YEMEN 5
5 KP1 NAVASSA 6
6 FR/G GLORIOSO 9
7 3Y/B BOUVET 8
8 KP5 DESECHEO 7
9 ZS8 MARION ISLAND 12
10 VKØ/H HEARD ISLAND 13

I need numbers 1, 3 and 6.

Should I use my transmit antenna for receiving? Would it offend you if
I have optional antennas for transmitting/receiving?
