Re: [DX-CHAT] On-Line Logs My 2 cents worth...
Worked a previous Ducie Island operation and sent for qsls. Cards came and my 12M CW qso marked NIL... Manager said he found KA2DZS not BZS in the log. Wow! the op sent BZS and now I'm not in the log.. Emailed the manager and he said he would send a qsl with KA2DZS logged on it. I explained that KA2DZS was a Novice class op who's callsign expired in 1995 but to no avail.. Sure wish they had an online log, I would have tried to work 'em again on 12CW.. Sure was a pleasure to work this operation on 12CW and 10 thru 160 and RTTY and see my callsign in the log for real. Just one dit did me in the first operation Here is the best one yet.. I saw on the cluster VP6DX on 17RTTY 17.110 QSX down but had no copy on my screen at all. I did see T32YC calling CQ QSX down 1 and called him about ten times before he faded into the noise with no luck... Half hour later VP6DX is chatting with a W5 who is apparently related to the operator. After they sign off VP6DX sends qrz up. I go up 5 and call and he sends back KA2BZS we worked before QRZ Wow, I worked the guy and he didn't even tell me what time ;-) He must have picked me out down trying to work the T3 station. Managed to work VP6DX 2 days later after sending First qso I know of Was in the online log the next morning though... Isn't this a fun hobby??73/DX..

I noticed that one item appeared to be missing... when the first complaints surfaced, one of the charges was that of possibly illegal entry to FJ via a privately chartered boat, as I recall. No mention of that in the letter. As a certain fictional television character used to say, Fascinating. The charge over the alleged misuse of the club callsign for the DXpedition is probably the most serious complaint. But as meticulous as Martti usually is on planning his jaunts, I find it hard to believe that this detail was overlooked. And, of course, nobody's perfect, so it may have been a true oversight on his part. I wondered about that myself. As you said, Fascinating! But... was a license issued, and if so, what call was on it? If FJ/OH2AM was on the license -- does that make the operation invalid? I'm sure that's one of the things the DXAC and DXCC desk will get to iron out, a task I don't envy them. I was under the impression that as a CEPT country, anyone from another CEPT country could just go there and operate. I could just go and operate as FJ/W9SZ. The main contention seems to be now about the callsign used after the FJ/. Having said that... I've got to tell you, gang, that this is one of a string of disturbing precedents that we've seen over the last few years. Sort of a DX'ing version of NIMBY. Recall all the complaints from the HP hams over the H8A trip a few years back, for one (specifically over the actual call on the license)? And there have been others along the same lines, which many of you know much more about than I ever will. I can't blame some of the resident FJ hams from feeling that their triumph got trumped, that their own plans to inaugurate the new entity in their own way got pulled out from under them. Under similar circumstances, I might feel the same way. But whatever happened (I ask rhetorically) to good sportsmanship? 73, ron w3wn So where are they?

Exactly. HERIK MAUDIT-LARIVE 63 RUE DES PALMIERS LE TAMPON 97430 FRANCE No mention of Reunion Island is key because mail to the above address goes via France instead of via some African countries where the mail is pilfered. That is not Herik's fault but the fault of the person who does not follow the published address exactly. 97430 is the French Zip meaning mail is redirected (securely) to Reunion. If you use this address and include appropriate IRCs or GS, you should get a card with no problems. I got cards from Herik for both 80m and 160m using the above and he also helped me get a card from FR7BP/T (now SK) for an old 10m QSO in 1980. Herik is a good guy but don't blame him if you cannot follow his QSL directions. Whoever said Herik does not work CW is wrong. I worked him on 160 CW from both Colorado and NC. He was quite active on 160 just a few years ago. 73, Bill Bill, Many of us got QSLs from Herik after repeated attempts and trying every trick in the book. A few got it the first try. We were well aware of the via France issue. There just were too many who didn't get a response for it to be explained away by mail pilfering. When you mentioned poor QSLer in the 1990s, *everyone* rolled their eyes and muttered FR5DX. He had the worst reputation for returning cards I can ever recall. You were lucky to get the cards you did, and maybe because they were 80 and 160 he treated them special. I don't know. All I do know is that the top dog DXers of the day who knew all the QSLing tricks to minimise pilfering, etc. each had their FR5DX horror stories.
