...so maybe that means you shouldn't try and pass yourself off as an

To call it that as you have and as Mr. Devoldere seems to indicate is
simply not precise, correct, or factual.
Well, the preeminent Mr. Devoldere *does* have a *lot* of 160
experience, being one of the top two 160 guys in the world.
Additionally, he is a renowned low band author and is recognized as
the top low band propagation authority in the world. You, on the other
hand, have no actual credentials or acceptance by others as a world
class expert like Mr. Devoldere.

He *is* the world's recognized low band propagation expert.

You aint.



Never said I was, but once again, if it's NOT propagation ALONG the grey line
then it is not grey line propagation.

I suggest you take the matter up with Mr. Devoldere.

*I* believe him--*you* are the one that doesn't. Therefore, logic would
dictate that *you* take it up with him.

Since this is a 'shortwave' oriented newsgroup and not an amateur one, perhaps
you'll share your SWBC listening/dx'ing experiences and loggings with us.

1) Again, I did not place the *original* post, just responded to and
supported *his* comments about interesting sunrise propagation during a
*ham* contest. I yet again suggest you take up your thinly veiled
complaint with the person who originally posted about the '180 meter'
amateur radio contest.

2) Last time I looked, amateur radio (at least HF) *IS* 'shortwave
oriented'.

3) As pointed out previously, whether it's 'one-way' or 'two-way', DX is
still DX.

4) Finally, I seem to recall *you* originating *numerous* posts
regarding the 3Y0X AMATEUR RADIO dx'pedition.

If I didn't know any better, it would seem that you are implying it's OK
for *you* to post topics with an amateur radio slant but that no one
else can, even if only in response to someone else's post. Seems a bit
hypocritical of you, don't you think? (just politely asking...)

Looking forward to seeing your 'expert' input.

Well, your wires are a bit crossed--I said consistently that *Devoldere*
was the low band propagation expert, not me (*or* you). I never claimed
to be an expert on propagation or otherwise, unlike some 'aces' on this NG.
