Fw: [DX-CHAT] Was it 9X0R or 5T5DC?
Thanks to all for the emails. A few suggested checking the DX Summit spot database. After checking there, I found no spots for 9X0R - 30/RTTY near the time of my contact, but for 5T5DC, a number of spots before & after my qso time. So looks like I just logged the wrong callsign. Thanks to all for the help. 73, Tim - N3XX - Original Message - From: N3XX - Tim Heger To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 8:00 PM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Was it 9X0R or 5T5DC? Hello to all on the list. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out a possible logging error on my part. I have in my log 9X0R - Mar. 18 - 2332 UTC - 30 Mtrs / Rtty.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
Why not just make the Yearbook available as a .pdf file. It could easily be whatever number of pages is needed for all listings to be shown. Then anyone wanting a paper copy just needs to print it out. 73, Tim - N3XX - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DX Chat Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 11:20 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook In looking back at past issues of the DXCC Yearbook, I find that the 1993 (my first year in it), the DXCC Listing was 19 pages long. 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. Let Bernie do it in his column, and put the DXCC Lists back in the Yearbook. It is what the Yearbook was all about a few years ago, and it should be returned to that status.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DX who QSL or not
Sorry, we will have to disagree. Dollars sent are not for purchase of a qsl card. They are to cover return postage costs for the DX station, as well as to assist with the cost of having his cards printed. This is well within what would be considered the "ham spirit". 73, Tim - N3XX - Original Message - From: "Charles Harpole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 6:40 AM Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] DX who QSL or not Not in my personal view.

Re: [DX-CHAT] ARRL
Why would anyone need any more info than callsign, band, & mode in an online log to tell if you made the contact? Maybe to try & get credit for one they really didn't work? If you made the contact, then the date & time is in your log.

Re: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better DXers?
Great ideas except for number 2. A single, 1, then 2, then 3, etc. would just be more frustrating. If you don't get through on that one call, then you must wait through nine more qso's before calling again. I would prefer to wait for the 3's, then get a number of tries at it. 73, Tim - N3XX - Original Message - From: "Charles Harpole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 4:54 AM Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better DXers? The answer to this question is MAKE BETTER DXPEDITION OPERATORS. The main reason ordinarily placid people become "caller mad men" is simple FRUSTRATION ! How to reduce frustration? 1. The DX op must be a general, establish a calling pattern and never never vary. 2. The DX op should call by numbers in this way call one one and then one two and then one three, and so on. This method has many benefits the largest of which is it reduces the FRUSTRATION level of the callers 90% of the bad callers are just regular people who have been driven temporarily crazy by a bad DX operator's methods. The other 10% are just crazy, probably at birth. Results of "call by numbers" are: -Makes absolutely clear when one should call no ambiguity which leads to FRUSTRATION. -Allows callers to break away from the rig for a few minutes to get coffee or something without losing any calling time. A break reduces FRUSTRATION. -This method eliminates the gripes that "he is favoring JA or he is only working the East Coast when my area is really in the best propagation now." All "ones" are equal this way yielding lowered FRUSTRATION. -The DX op can slightly vary from this pattern if there are vastly more of one number than all others. 3. DX op must establish a reasonable split (10 kc?) and must MOVE FREQ AFTER EVERY QSO and move in the same direction. This is a pain for the DX op, but it REDUCES FRUSTRATION because callers can select a freq and STAY THERE instead of doing the guessing game and moving around a lot. This eliminates tail-enders --which, when taken, increases other callers' FRUSTRATION. It also eliminates the extra deep pile on the freq. where a good QSO was just completed. (The time lost in moving freq. is made up by a more orderly pile up.) 4. The DX op should give QSL info and state his op method every half hour. Anyone can wait a half hour and knowing the info is on sked reduces FRUSTRATION. 5. The DX op must NEVER call a partial and then go back to someone else with none of the first letters nor numbers Bad Example is "QRZ the W3" and then "G7XXX ur 59" . The op must stick with his "partial" forever if it takes that, otherwise there is no reason to stand by if the DX is just going to take anyone regardless of his "directed QRZ." 6 and a pet complaint do not claim u r at a DX location "to do propagation experiments" and then send only 5-9 sig reports. Oh, well. Hams who live near frequent offenders must take it on themselves to take the bad guy to lunch (ideally in a group) and gently get to the point of his bad ops. Suggest alternatives, be helpful, but pass the message that we hear u and do not like it IN PERSON. 73, Charles Harpole, HS0ZCW [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
