Someone is getting fed up with stochastic parrot bs passed off as knowledge and insight from fellow humans. source: a certain amateur radio reflector. edit: since this post is (unexpectedly?) doing the rounds, I'm not the author of the reply.

Is it worth my time trying to put up an 80m vertical for CQ WPX CW or we’re too close to the summer to be useful?

It’s 19:27 local time and I’m receiving IZ3DVW/B and IQ5VK/B 80m beacons, 1W and 10mW respectively. I am satisfied with the antenna work.

GB1500M, GB198LW, GB198END and GB198KHZ special callsigns to commemorate BBC #Longwave https://rsgb.org/main/radio-sport/rsgb-contest-club/bbc-long-wave-shutdown/

As with every #CQWPX I&#39;m already getting bored. Every single station is a new multiplier, mostly European.

#CQWPXCW was a bust, not a blast. Everyone brought out of their drawers callsigns with the most misleading prefixes, if there&#39;s no DX to be had I don&#39;t find it interesting. Tiny log submitted as checklog, this will be my last WPX for a while.

Finding “don’t send me unsolicited e-qsls, I removed the email address from my QRZ profile to avoid spam” is becoming a common occurrence, maybe I should also do that.

DX is relative, from here Scandinavia QRP (both from and to there) is very difficult, every time I get some activator just above the noise is a reason to celebrate.

Yep, 80 years ago Italy 🇮🇹 chose the Republic over monarchy, tomorrow is Festa della Repubblica. #RTTY
