I'd be lying if I didn't admit that a similar thought hadn't crossed my mind... but even so, is a rift like that something that you'd want to imply, let alone outright admit?

Of course, for all we know, there are extenuating circumstances (reception will be low key and has to end by a certain time anyway). Just seems a bit "off", on the surface.

And, Jim? I hear you on that. That's one of the reasons why I am not likely to ever get invited to join the regional "contest club" that operates a certain well-known (be it famous or infamous I'll leave to your discretion) M/M station not far away from me.
