Who uses a propagation prediction program? Which one do you use? Would you recommend it? In the past I've generally taken little notice of these, but decided to have a play around, so to speak. Along with the usual commercial offerings I found VOAProp ( http://www.g4ilo.com/voaprop.html) which seems reasonably stable, uses currently available data and the ITS VOAcap software. Above all, It's FREE. Being a Yorkshireman who's half Scottish I like FREE stuff :-) Given the caveat that no propagation prediction is foolproof, this program seems to work well. It demonstrated why XU7ACY is always reported at 599plus on 160m by Germans and Russians when I can hardly hear him during the evenings, and also suggested the best time for me. OK, he was still only 449 with me and I had to call long either side of the pileup waiting for him to turn the dial but I did manage to work him at the recommended time - just before his sunrise. The "medium" power/gain signal strength figures seem pessimistic on low bands and optimistic on the higher bands. Has anyone in the group got any further recommendations or can anyone suggest further tweaks or hints with this subject? The more I look into it, the more interesting it becomes. cheers Dave G0OIL --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

I think if I had the power to make one change, at this point, it would be to revert to the original wording of the DXCC-2000 rules regarding IARU societies. Or failing that, at least putting that rule back on the books. While the current criteria for the "3rd choice" is fine in and of itself, as we can see here, the Rule of Unintended Consequences shows us that there are always going to be situations that the rules don't quite cover. Now, IF that rule were reinstated (which, I know, is not going to happen, but let's just "what if?" here a moment), there's still no guarantee that a national amateur radio society for Kosova would be admitted to the IARU. But that's poltics of another sort. The bottom line remains that, in this and in several other situations, the operators knew or should have known what the rules are when they began planning and began operating. Should they choose to operate in situations where DXCC approval is uncertain or unlikely, the onus on that should be on the operators, not on the DXCC Desk. To constantly demand that the DXCC rules change, virtually on a moments notice, to accomodate situations where the operators could (and probably should) have known they wouldn't meet the criteria, is unfair to the DXCC and everyone involved in it, and will only result in a devauled program mired in chaos.

I raised TX5C's attention on 160m and they had me as N3MX ... I sent my call five or six more times with them listening for me and their confirmation at the end got lost in the static crashes. I don't know if I got lost in the QRN or just in the din of the pileup that heard my "de N3OX N3OX N3OX 5NN BK" and started calling right then, but I lost the QSO as far as I'm concerned. I *don't* know if I lost the QSO as far as TX5C was concerned.

My belief was that the time required to unbundle a wad of cards, sort them into groups, physically review each card, enter the credit info, and then put that cards back into a bundle and send them on back to the sender requires quite a bit more time than entering the credit info from a field card check list.

Re: [DX-CHAT] FJ/OH2AM signals
I wouldn't pay much attention to the spot pattern. They are invariably well behind real time and are incomplete. I find Olli (CW) generally moves up the band a few hundred cycles to 1 khz (depending on QRM) per QSO and back down again when there are a lot of callers. Today on 17, he sat on 1 frequency plus/minus a few hundred cycles for at least 10 minutes before the QRM started him moving again.

Based on the spots alone, they'll work someone transmitting on 7015, then 7021, then 7012, etc. ... up and down within the announced listening range. My guess is that they don't linger on a particular frequency for more than a QSO or two. That defeats anyone trying to jam up their receiver. It also may mean that when they QSY, they quickly hunt a clear signal on the band, and when the cluster watchers QSY to that frequency, they vacate others which now have a clear signal to work. Maddening to those who try to match a pattern. But the best strategy may just be to pick A frequency and stick to it, and wait for surrounding traffic to clear away.

He will work a bunch of USA, then a bunch of EU, then a bunch of USA ... without saying "EU only". Truly amazing! He was going so fast last night that I guess he made everyone reasonably happy.

Hopefully ham magazines will print it and web sites will use it. Thus, please read the statement below and send to me directly any modifications or additions this statement needs. I will collect all good advice and put it into the final version. Thanks to all and 73, Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUCCESSFUL QSLing de HS0ZCW Steps in sending a direct QSL to a DX station: 1. Obtain correct address via qrz.com or use the GO List for QSL manager addresses, or search the Web via Google. 2. Consult the DX station’s web site or web information for special instructions (such as “direct only,” “no IRC,” or whatever). 3. Send via Air Mail. If you know the DX station has postal theft problems, send via Registered Mail (or via FedEx if you are really desperate—one good FedEx is better than three lost Air Mails). 4. Write your own QSL card clearly in permanent black ink. 5. Use UTC/GMT times and dates only. Be sure to label which number is the date and which number is the month and year (for example, is 9/2/03-- Sept. 2, 2003 or is it Feb. 9, 2003 or maybe March 2, 1999 or Feb. 3, 2003?). 6. Clearly mark if your contact was a QSO or if you are a SWL. 7. Be sure your own call sign is printed clearly ON THE SAME SIDE OF YOUR CARD as the contact information (YOUR CALL SIGN ALONG WITH time, date, band, mode, etc.). 8. Use very clear type face for your printed call sign. No Old English type; no cute curlicues, etc. Put a slash in all zeros. Be sure your number one, your I and your lower case l (L) are clearly different (note problems with 1, I and l, can you tell the difference?). Oh and Zero and V and U are problems. Use upper case block letters only. 9. If you are THANKING receipt of a QSL, mark that clearly or you will get a second card and will waste time and money. 10. Always enclose a self-addressed return envelop (sae) that has: a. Your complete address, printed CLEARLY, and include your country (not everyone knows AK is in the USA !). b. Do not affix postage to this envelop* unless you are absolutely sure the DX guy can use it at his point of mailing. (I get USA postage affixed, but I want to mail it from Thailand… duh!) c. Try to avoid folding your sae; use nesting envelops. If you just must fold the sae, never fold it exactly in half ! d. Use press-on/self-stick envelops and fold the flap open--that is, back over the address side so that the envelop is fully open. e. Place the non-info side of your card against the sticky part of your sae or place the green stamp against the sticky part of your sae. f. Do not put anything inside your sae. g. Write your call sign on the sae where that writing will be covered when the sae is sealed by the DX operator—in the place where the glue will stick. This allows finding your envelop and your card when the two have been accidentally separated. h. Because almost all mail today is air mail, use pre-printed air mail envelops or print “air mail” on your sae. i. Envelops that are pre-printed with “return postage paid” are GREAT ! 11. The outer envelop: a. Do not seal your outer envelop so that a finger can not get into the flap to open it. b. Use “security envelop” which has colored printing inside to retard seeing through the outer envelop. c. You can not configure your envelop to stop postal theft so just use normal sealing methods and skip inserting extra paper hoping to stop postal people seeing through your envelop. Super sealing jobs invite attention of postal thieves. d. Do not write any ham radio information, like call signs, on the outside of your envelops. Use non-smear permanent ink. 12. Also enclose: a. USA currency ($1 is almost enough these days, $2 is better, more if you feel generous)**. b. Try to avoid IRCs because of problems cashing them in**. c. *Loose postage for the DX operator’s country, if you want to do an extra favor. d. Do NOT fold the currency bills EXACTLY in half. e. If you send no sae, no currency, nor stamps, expect a card back via the buro. f. **If you are sure that the DX operator’s country forbids its citizens from having USD, it is best to include postage for that country or, in last resort, use IRCs. 13.Note that a. Some operators like to get a separate card for each contact, and it is best to QSL in this way. b. If you send cards for more than one call sign, be sure to increase your donation for return postage due to increased effort and cost. c. The best envelops are made of Tyvek which is very water resistant, almost impossible to tear or puncture, but can be cut easily with a knife for opening. Write on Tyvek only with permanent

The 2002 issue had 27 pages to the list. It is obvious that participation has grown quite a bit over the years, and you would think that ARRL DXCC would enjoy this and want to nurture it. DXCC Challenge is something new that they came up with and started promoting heavily around 2004. Its 12 pages replaced the DXCC listing in that issue, and the DXCC Listing has never returned. The DXCC Challenge list has now been removed and replaced by the 5 page 160M DXCC List (what do we need this for with its limited number of participants). The rest of the 32 page Yearbook contains DXpedition related articles like we get every month in "How's DX". There are many DX reports that contain this kind of information and we don't need the DXCC Yearbook to just get more of it.

Re: [DX-CHAT] After effects
Joe, As I said to Jim, Canadians, no more than the US or any other ham jurisdiction want or need special consideration or "private frequencies". We operate within the limits of our licence and regulations while generally adhering to the internationally accepted band use norms. What I was pointing out was that Canada and all the other 335 DXCC entities will operate where they can most effectively communicate while experiencing and creating minimal interference. That may well be below or above the more congested spectrum occupied by US hams.

Re: [DX-CHAT] After effects
Jim, I didn't suggest that Canadians (or the rest of the world) need protection from US QRM. We can certainly compete on an equal basis. The point is that we do not have sub-bands and will naturally move to places in the band where there is less QRM for us and where we not generate more QRM for those who don't have the same flexibility as we do (mostly US hams). I've been active since 1956 and don't recall where Canada ever "prevented" US sub band expansion. I don't believe we had the ability to do that then or now.

As you push down your phone band, hams in countries like Canada will move some of their phone operations down as well. Your example on 80 with phone down to 3600 and digital below that may well be more like US phone to 3600 and Canadian phone down to 3575 with digital and CW squeezed into the last 75 khz. This will no doubt lead to competition for space as now happens on 40 around 7050-7060 between Canadian and DX SSB and US CW. Canada does not have sub-bands and should we choose, we can operate any mode anywhere. We use the bands based more on a "gentleman's agreement" (no, it's doesn't always work well) and would hope these new US assignment will work themselves out for all users of the bands.
