Hi Charles,

To understand Lance's request, you must understand his operating 
conditions. He does 6M moon-bounce Dxpeditions to remote places, which 
requires very low noise, high power, and big antennas. To minimize his 
need for power, which translates to minimizing the cost of buying and 
transporting fuel over oceans, and then to remote locations where 
there's no noise, he INVITES blind callers. This is a method of 
operation he devised years ago. He's currently somewhere in the South 
Pacific, don't remember where.

This is his website.  https://www.bigskyspaces.com/  Scroll down to see 
his instructions to callers.

I would encourage the development team to take his request seriously and 
do your best to accommodate it.
