Is this stealing someone else's work? I don't think so. It is using whatever
data I can to identify what I'm hearing, and I think this is totally correct
and appropriate for me. Otherwise, what else do you use all the available
data for?

Agree, why NOT use whatever data is available;
- No real sense in reinventing the wheel...

If your star gazing, you use a guide to the planets and stars ,
coordinated for your time, season and latitude.

If you're bird watching, you use a guide; "that looks like a"..
Not a shotgun, bird dog and dissecting tools
:-)


With this method I can do a band scan for each hour of the day and
compile my own logs, which I update twice each Summer and twice each Winter.
If someone states that you are stealing someone else's work unless you
listen to each signal until you hear an ID they are applying their personal
preferences in how to create logs onto everyone else and frankly I don't see
how anyone has the right to do that.

I realize I may get flamed for writing this and that's one of the reasons I
seldom post to this group these days but felt it was necessary to speak my
