I agree entirely that 100% accuracy should always be the aim, and I
believe
that RadCom and QST both have a high hit rate, but the point I was making
was that a story with some errors in it will still do more good for the LF
fraternity than no story at all.

Despite the deliberate errors you made in your ending, publishing the wrong
call sign of an amateur radio participant is probably one of the worst
errors that a journalist could make.
