SILLY POSTS |
| OK, so maybe I should just turn red with laughter by myself, but I just couldn't resist sharing with you some of the silliest logger posts I have ever seen. If you think you have troubles on 50 MHz, just think what it is like for these folks... and no, I didn't adulterate the spelling... |
| Take for example this fellow, who upon seeing Australian stations working each other on the logger one morning (with an SFI of around 90) posts: Nov17 12:40 im Listining for austrila on 50.125Mhz im in Usa in grid sq EM40 Ok, not too funny, huh? Well, how about this guy during a good November aurora: Nov22 22:44 Annoying CW that sounds like someone coughing on .125 again Still not getting it?

Jan17 18:25 LIDS doing CW on 50.125 again. 5x9 here. Call is W4 something. This Missouri station is on his period at least twice a week. . (64-48-129-42-stl-01.cvx.algx.net 64.48.129.42) A report of 1/5 means the station is totally unreadable with fairly good signals... How did he possibly pull the guy's callsign out? Jan11 01:28 KB9EJ 1/5 into DM33 50.135 DE [call redacted] DM33 OK, he is readable with considerable difficulty with fairly good signals... but "weak?" Feb01 22:24 W4S???
