[DX-CHAT] QSL Route Needed
I worked 5B/KC7RVN during the ARRL I'ntnl CW DX contest on 18 February 2006. However, my card to KC7RVN's stateside address was returned as undeliverable; "moved, left no address." I found out that the owner of that callsign is RW9UP but QRZ.com and Hamcall websites each have a slightly different address for him in Russia/Russian Federation. Anyone know the correct route? Thanks - need his 5B card for a new one here. John - WB8RFB __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

John, He's now UA9PC. Check him out on QRZ.com with that call and dig for more info. Apparently he and some other ops have a contest station in Cyprus. Sorry can't be of more help.

[DX-CHAT] Question
Gentlemen DXers, Here is a hypothetical situation and a question. I am on a dxpedition to a top 10 entity and lets say I'm operating on 20 meters. I'm transmitting at 14.195 and listening 200 to 220. I tune down to my transmit frequency and hear all kinds of intentional QRM. It's so bad that I know the stations I am trying to work are having a bad time hearing me. What would happen if I waited a few minutes then announced that I am no longer working split, please call between 14.200 and 14.220 and I will work you on your transmit frequency? If this has come up before, please excuse me. I will be very interested to read your comments. Thanks, Dave - K4SSU

My experience is limited to JW, where the JA pileups can be almost frightening ! The bad English adds to the problem so working Ja phone pile-ups is really a challenge. What I found to work in a seemingly hopeless situation was frequency hopping. I would say f ex QSX 245. When that frequency become saturated I would say QSX 235. Not everybody is listening so I would get a periode when callsigns can be made out. When the new frequency is hopeless I would find a new free one and say QSX whatever that was. By doing this I managed to keep the phone pileups managable without spreading out all over a large bandsegment. The same can be done on CW of course, but morse is easier to copy with narrow filters and different pitches. But I had to use this approach some years ago on 30 meters. I guess it was the first time somebody did a real effort to work 30 meters from Svalbard and there was a " wall-to-wall" pile-up . By using the QSX-technique described above only those who listened properly would know where to transmit ! I believe there is a moral in there !!! hi 73 " RAG " Ragnar Otterstad LA5HE JW5HE OZ8ROLocated in Telemark - Home of skiing.
