It's bad enough that rec.radio.shortwave is now mostly off topic, thanks
to idiots like you who think it's okay to post off-topic junk, and
think you get "permission" by putting "ot" in the subject header.
But your an even greater idiot to cross-post this to rec.radio.amateur.misc
and rec.radio.amateur.policy
Cross-posting is bad enough in itself, there is rarely a good reason
to do so, but what you've done is pretty much pick a random topic
and cross-posted it to three newsgroups where it really has no
relevance. After all, you are saying it's off-topic.
Newsgroups don't need off topic junk. They need on topic material
in order to keep alive, and idiots like you then want to ride on
that success with your off-topic junk.
But the off-topic junk is more likely to drive away the actual contents
of the newsgroup, killing off any readership that you want to leech
on with the off-topic junk.
I've been reading and posting to this newsgroup for over a decade,
and there is ultimately less and less reason for me to even bother
to reply to a post, because there's hardly any on-topic posts, and
they are all hidden amonst your off-topic junk.
Go and find a newsgroup where this is relevant and stop cluttering
up newsgroups that are already damaged by junk.

Your reply is off topic as well.
