Announcing 1 to 3 listening frequencies, alternating round robin seems a great alternative to the overwide spread.
Another good operator in the recent VU7LD expeditidion announced the one frequenncy he was listening and had great success with it. No doubt the team is working very hard and is doing a great job. I am still trying to get through, but as it was said on this list, with the wide spread and so many operators calling before the current contact is finished, it is impossible to hear the station being worked. And this aside from the deliberate QRM on the DX freq. with all the outrageous profanities being exchanged. They had a CW and an SSB station on 20 working NA only. The NA and EU window seem to overlap startingat 13 UTC, so people get impacient and cause qrm. Maybe they could alternate and switch every hour, CW to NA SSB to EU, then CW to EU and SSB to NA? Right now I listen on 17m 18.130 good copy. The op is listening 138 to 150 working NA only, JA before and after, no EU. I still hope to make it 73 Werner, HB9US ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
