[Moon] QRA-codes for EME.

[Peter Sundberg]

Very interesting to read Leif clarification of Nico IV3NWV's highly 
(for me) technical article.

Some comments from me

I could not agree more, very good point. It is about time people 
stopped fooling themselves and others that EME QSO's are made when 
using the Deep Search functionality.

Another aspect that comes to mind, why is the Deep Search 
functionality constantly referred to as a 'decoder'? Klaus DJ5HG made 
it clear long time ago that Deep Search can not communicate 
callsigns. It is not a decoder of callsigns. Should we even compare 
new developments to a cheating piece of software? Reading Leifs last 
paragraph makes it very clear that we should not.
