[BC] High School Football Games --- STA

[Bailey, Scott]

Paul,
   This is because a large portion of DX'ers are not, or never have been
broadcasters or engineers A good DX'er is educated in the broadcast
engineering field to some degree. Just because they are able to hear a
station 2 to 3 nights in a row doesn't mean the station is operating out
of tolerance. Propogation can do some weird things. 
When I was a kid, I used to TV DX. That was amazing for an 8 year old,
but now that I understand what propogation will do, it's no big deal to
me now.

Scott

I agree, Mark. I've seen some strange things due to propogation.  DXers
do
not endear themselves to broadcasters when they make those kinds of
comments.  I have been on both sides.  Would love to someday see that
1/4
mile long antenna you keep out there in Utah or Western Colorado do it's
thing.

What DX-ers often say is that "the station's cheating."  That
over-worked
word flies in the face of the very attribute that makes DX-ing fun: the
vagaries of propagation.

Instead of a cartwheel and a 'wow', when conditions shift to bring a
station
pounding in 20-30 db higher than usual, the usual response is: "they're
cheating; they're still on day power."

End of rant
