Re: [DX-NEWS] Logbook of the World (LOTW) Beta Test Tutorial
Ok, gave this a try --- didn't work. 1. Hawaii is NOT in the list of United States, seems rather odd, so I could fill in neither State nor County. ARRL form would allow nothing except a selection from the list from which Hawaii was not included. 2. I prepared an ADIF file from my Logic 6 log; however, I had no idea how to prepare that I only wanted QSO's from Nov. 6, 1996 to be selected. So I did the entire log which goes back to late 1991. Then I used Notepad to edit the log, which I did by deleting all QSO's from the long, long ADIF file. So first entry in the EXORT.ADI file was: call:59K2GS qso_date:8:d19961217 time_on:6042300 rst_sent:259 rst_rcvd:259 mode:3SSB band:320M dxcc:3:n348 qsl_sent:1Y qsl_rcvd:1Y comment:8DXCCSUB: operator:4KH7M notes:21:mKUWAIT|/ABDUL|KUWAIT| cont:2AS cqz:221 ituz:239 eor The above seems to be one complete ADIF log entry. There was nothing else other than a great long list of the above sort of entries. So, I proceeded to the place where you do the process to sign the log; this is where the process stopped. I was given the message, The data in line 21 is outside the range specified or some such. It went away before I could respond. Next thing I was told was that the program was no longer responding, hi. Any thought on what to do now, start over or 73, Jim KH7M --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net ---
Re: [DX-NEWS] If you have this on File
From the Symantec Norton Virus web site: Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax Reported on: April 12, 2002 Last Updated on: November 21, 2002 10:24:24 AM This is a hoax that tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. It may be installed when you install Windows. NOTE: Recent version of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm worm, and the fact that the Jdbgmgr.exe file that is mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is an .exe file and does not have a bear icon. The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax... CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384@mm, targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided protection against W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001. NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases, you do not have to reinstall it. The following is quoted from the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus (Q322993). 73, Jim KH7M --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net ---
[DX-NEWS] QRM on 14.1 NCDXF Beacon --Action
Hi, Recall a couple of weeks ago I asked if others were bothered by the constant signal on 14100, nearly atop many of the 18 NCDXF beacons on that frequency. It would seem that action is to be taken. Source of the QRM, per the below reported note, is in Eastern Europe. Quote of info follow: Thank you all for drawing attention to this problem. It was also reported recently by G4FKH. I do not personally monitor 14MHz regularly so was unaware until I checked the frequency a couple of weeks ago. However, my rig expired almost immediately (now away for repair) so had not been able to check further. Usually the authorities deal promptly with problems of this kind, and I hope that it will prove to be the case now. I am drawing the matter to the attention of OK1HH, my Czech contact on beacon matters, who works for the Czech forecasting service. Please keep me posted about any developments Martin G3USF IARU Region 1 HF Beacon Coordinator Rob, Thanks for the report, we have heard from a listener in Hawaii . who shows this signal being received there as well. http://www.kingschair.com/beacon/pt3.html shows some graphics of the interference which might interest you. Peter Jennings AB6WM IARU/NCDXF Beacon Committee - Original Message - From: Rob Mannion, PW Publishing Ltd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 9:54 AM Subject: [NCDXF-beacon] 14.1MHz IBP frequency being jammed- rogue transmitter in Eastern Europe To whom it concerns: 14.1MHz IBP frequency jamming 9for past 2 moths or so). I have no doubt you'll have noticed the persistent (and effective) jamming of the 14.1MHz IBP frequency, here in Europe it's a real nuisance.It effectively renders the 18 beacon system useless during the evenings and at weekends. My own 'home brew' d.f. readings indicated the transmissions were coming from Yugoslavia...however, official government monitors pin-pointed the transmitter as being within the Czech Republic (they obtained a Class A bearing and have contacted the Czech Authorities so they can take further action. I've also written to our Radio Amateur friends in Prague asking them for their help -as they could be in a worse position that IBP users outwith the CR. A new item will lapper in the November issue of Practical Wireless and I hope that readers will respond to my request that they ask CR Amateurs (when they are in QSO) for their help. Together we can beat this nuisance which is neutralizing a truly superb International effort. Forgive my poor typing -I suffer badly from arthritis affecting my good arm and y artificial one too!

Re: [DX-NEWS] QRM on 14.1 NCDXF Beacon --Action
2130 UTC It is now gone! At least the QRM'ing signal on 14.1 cannot now be heard here in Hawaii. At this time yesterday, and up until a couple of hours ago, was at least S5 as heard out here. Maybe the Czech folks have found and silenced the thing, hope so! 73, Jim KH7M from earlier post: It would seem that action is to be taken.

Re: [DX-NEWS] TN to KH6
Hola Pere, And thank you for your note. Still not in the TN logs. Have a look at the propagation charts on their/your web site for New Zealand, ZL. You will see the optimum hours are about 0400 to 0700 UTC. A chart for Hawaii, or any other of the mid-Pacific Island nations would be very similar. Now, the TN team, for the last days are going QRT around 0230 or so UTC, then eating/sleeping until around 0830 UTC or so. That is they are QRT right through the optimum prop times for the central Pacific. As their goal is to give as many as possible a QSO with TN, do you suppose on at least one day they could go QRT a little earlier, and be up and operating by 6 AM (0500UTC) in Brazzaville, instead of waiting until mid-morning ( 9:30 to 10 AM) thier present starting time? We out here in the Pacific would be very grateful, as the signals levels through their present operating hours are just not high enough for QSO's between KH6 and TN. Thanks for being so helpful, Pere!

Re: [DX-NEWS] QRZ de TN2B TN3W
Aloha Pere, You wrote, in part: Pacific: they will pay special attention tomorrow Tuesday on 17 Mhz at 10:00z. Why?? That is almost the worst possible time for anywhere in the Pacific: JA, KH6, ZL, VK, or DU !! 1000z is the middle of the night in the Pacific basin. 1000z is 1 AM in Hawaii!! And the signals on 17 meters are at or near zero microvolts. Best times seem to be 0400z through 0530z and the best bands are 20 meters (best of bunch), 17meters and 15 meters, at least all as predicted by W6EL's propagation prediction program. I could hear TN3W yesterday (2230z)on 18145; she obviously never heard me, as all her returns, when she was QRZ for 6's and 7's was to the US mainland, not Hawaii, ever. Why, again W6EL program says that mid-day in the Pacific here is not really any better than the middle of the night. Above best times are closer to Pacific evening gray line conditions. Short path is near polar, also for Hawaii. For whatever this info is worth.

Re: [DX-NEWS] DX Map
Is anyone currently printing a decent world ham radio map? Yaesu, or one of their dealers, has in the past, given out a very large wall DX map with prefixes.

[DXR] T5W on RTTY...
just got away from me; he went QRT just when I had found him, got the rig all set up to go, amp on, etc. Look up at the RITTY display and see T5W QRT QRT ON RTTY... that at about 2130 Z or so; about 12:30 AM Somalia time. Guess he went to bed.
