I'm really not surprised at all in the redundant reporting. In fact, I welcome it. The answer is simple. Anyone participating in an interesting endeavor such as this, enjoy feeling "CONNECTED". The content of their input doesn't matter as much as hearing from the others who are experiencing something in common with you and are there with you in this effort. To be honest, I'm so tired of deleting bb email with the word "diplexers" and "phonetics", that this is a welcome change.

I am curious why we need 100 reports that a signal was not heard? Would it not be more beneficial to post nothing unless a signal was actually heard thereby reducing the number of posts to the bb? also, please reply to this message directly so as not to clutter the bb.
