On another "radio-related" newsgroup, an amateur asks:

"Subject: 80 meter European and Russian SSB frequencies?

Where is a list of the freq allocations for DX on 80m ssb?"

From the worlds greatest dxer, I was under the impression that we
weren't permitted to know the amateur allocations of other countries.
We must blindly tune up and down the bands hoping that we snag a
contact with a needed country. Having knowledge of where to tune is
forbidden.

1. I'll point out for a fourth, fifth or sixth time, I've never claimed
to be the world's greatest DXer--but I thank you for the compliment.

You assume I was talking about you?

I guess the last six month's worth of posts where you and Sir
Scummy have made that same statement and INCLUDED Dave's name in the
process was not germane?

2. Your statement is not only incorrect, it is deliberately so. Not
being required to know the amateur allocations of foreign countries is
nothing at all like not being permitted to know. Do you know what they
call a person who tells a deliberate untruth?

Please allow me to confer with Steve on this one.

You need to confer with your mentor.

He has several decades worth of exprience in this field. Mine is
pretty much limited to complimenting my mother-in-law's cooking when I
really wish I was at McDonalds.

Or he just hangs out and waits for the spots to roll in, or works the
nets.

Your DXploits are legend.

Small world, so are yours. Work France on 6 lately?

And if he has? If his transmit mode was within the allocations
permitted by Part 97 of the FCC's rules and regulations, his "issue"
would be...?!?!
