[DX-NEWS] Contest Pile up
Suggestion, when a DX or contest station asks for a repeat on a prefix ONLY, then follow those instructions. Ditto: when the DX station asks for you to repeat ONLY your suffix, then follow those instructions! A quick review of your license, check which is the prefix and which is the suffix! -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.

[DX-NEWS] Pls spread the word
Please help spread the word: Due to a recent flood of bogus subscribers (and I mean almost 100 per day between the 2 reflectors), Urb has instituted (finally :-) ) a 2 step subscription program Step 1 requires you to input your e-mail address (the one you'll be allowed to receive and post) with Step 2 will be receipt of an e-mail (at the subscribed address) that requires you to verify that you did indeed subscribe, by clicking on a URL link Once that is done, you'll get a welcome message and the rest is automatic I realize that this is a tad more than what was needed in the past, but it was taking more and more time to delete the bogus addresses If, in a pinch, you need assistance, I am always available to help Have a good DX day and remember...Just because BS7H is coming on the air doesn't mean we have to act like goofs AND remember this..if you hear me trying to work them, keep it down to a dull roar until I make my contact ;-) 73 Steve KF2TI DXR Aministration -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.

[DX-NEWS] Pile up behaviour.
WRONG ANSWER in my view -- Identification after every QSO is necessary, particularly in a contest -- and it is a requirement of most licensing authorities. In a contest situation, patience is not a virtue! QSO RATE is the measure of success. Wasting a few minutes here and there waiting to determine the callsign of a DX station running a huge pileup is a bad thing. The top operators ALWAYS send their callsigns either after every QSO or after every second QSO both during contests and DXpeditions (SXW & TXF are good examples of the right way to do it!). Nobody should EVER depend on a DX Cluster spot for positive station identification. I've heard some DX operators, mostly during contests, work stations for upwards of 10 minutes without ever sending their callsign even once (and to make matters worse, when they eventually do send their callsign, their signal is in a QSB fade)! That is extreme, but it does happen. These guys think the whole world revolves around them and EVERYBODY knows who they are, which is abolutely silly during a contest when that operator is only one of hundreds of rare stations running pileups. One possible solution for this serious problem might be for the contest sponsors to make a rule that every station MUST identify his callsign after every QSO or after every two QSO's during a running situation. The top operators routinely do this, and they maintain outstanding QSO rates while doing so. Jan Carman, K5MA West Falmouth, MA [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Rag is right, but identification after every single contact would not be necessary if the callers exercised an old-fashioned commodity called PATIENCE. Listening for a few minutes to find out who the fuss is over is not difficult. And if all the callers were cluster addicts, they would know, anyway ? 161 Tony G4UZN - Ragnar Otterstad wrote: > > > I think that much of the poor behaviour can be caused by bad operating by the DX operator, the worst aspect being infrequent sending of the callsign. I listened to a guy on an IOTA in Turkey on 10mHz who went on for over 15 minutes without giving his C/S and very infrequent "Up". So the first layer on his QRG were saying the equivalent of " who is DX " , the second saying " up " ( etc !!) and the rest couldn't hear anything anyway. With increasing ease of travel and light equipment it is too simple for ill-trained or inexperienced operators to go to a sought after site and cause havoc, which includes an excessively large spread. Call me politically incorrect if you like, but don't call me early, Ivan G3IZD --- > I think this is a very valid point. Some of the otherwise excellent operators going places are bad with their ID-ing. I have even experienced this from FOC-members. Unfortunately not all work like our friends Roger/Nigel , who have exemplary conduct on the bands ! We should all tell people who dont ID-properly to improve their style ! 161 Rag LA5HE -- Jeg bruker gratisversjonen av SPAMfighter for privatbrukere. Den har fjernet 1328 soppelpostmeldinger til na.
