[DXR] DX window

2001-05-14 Thread Bruce Makas

I've read a great deal about DX windows but none of them concern 20 meters.
What ever happenned to the gentleman's agreement that US to DX work would be
done in the neighborhood of 14.195? I have heard many of our new extras
having local QSO's in the morning wiping out any opportunity to hear good DX
at that time. Am I wrong or was 14.190 - 14.210 or so the informal DX window
on 20? How do we get the word out without on the air arguements?

[DXR] FW: 20 meter DX window

2001-05-15 Thread Bruce Makas

Below is a note that I sent to Wayne and his response. An e mail to him at
the league might help.

Bruce:

The 20 meter SSB "DX Window" at 14.195 is definitely well established. As
you probably know, this was a frequency used by DX back when the US subband
started at 14.200. It is interesting that several attempts to establish a
new DX window at 14.145 failed, primarily because of an established net on
that frequency(!) There is considerable momentum and history involved in
using the 14.195 frequency. I don't think the DX community will stand for
any significant net activity to be established on that frequency.

The League has established bandplans for a variety of bands. These are
generally configured following a study involving input from the ham
community. I think it would be unwise for the League to unilaterally
designate 14.195 part of a bandplan without using a process which would
legitimize the results. I will bring it up at the MSC meeting in July,
however.

Wayne, Is there any way that the league, thru QST, could "designate" 14.190
thru 14.200 as a voluntary DX window and encourage operators not to
establish nets or schedules there. There is also a significant number of
domestic (sometimes local) QSO's there each day. By use of the QST media we
might be able to avoid some of the on the air arguements.

Last week was a mess with the 3B6 on 14.195 and a 9Y4 net 1 kc below and
stateside QSO's sometimes right on top of the 3B6. Of course they can't hear
anything and they point out that there are no reserved frequencies. All of
this is correct but with a little help from the league we might be able to
help this deteriorating situation.

thanks, Bruce K1MY

"A straight pileup allows the

I don't understand the issue; the above is the essence of DXing isn't it?
Shouldn't the loudest and/or the strongest prevail? I can think of
absolutely no reason to deprive a well engineered station with a skillful
operator and the propagation a contact or should we all stand by for the
weak and poor operators without propagation?

I think some of the griping is legitimate.  A straight pileup allows the
loudest and/or the most skillful ops through.  By the numbers COULD allow
more DXers to get thru a huge pileup, but only if it is done well and
correctly.

I would probably have Malpelo Island in the log had he not been operating by
numbers, the first time I heard him on 20m.  He never got back around to
3's, but he was booming in, and with the number of people he was working in
each district, I would have had plenty of time.  I would have much preferred
a "regular" pileup that night.

Couple of nights later, T5W was operating 20 SSB by numbers.  He hit 3's, I
had no problem (100W + A3S @ 30ft)  No gripe there.  My biggest problem with
operating by numbers is the inconsistency in how it's done.  I was pretty
frustrated after I sat by the radio for an hour just listening and waiting
for 3's to come around for the /0M and he just quit after 0's.  If I had
know he was going to QRT, I would have spent the time looking for more DX.

I agree with the guys and gals that contend that by the numbers should not
necessarily be done in numerical order.  On the other hand, I can't agree
with the people who say to work proportional numbers to the size of the call
district, unless the DX is ONLY calling the U.S.A.

The fact of the matter is, the 4th call district may be the largest in the
U.S., but it's not other places.  Just take this area of the world.  Let's
see.  VE4... I think there are a lot more VE7's VE3's and VE2's than there
are VE4's.  How about an XE4?  I've never even heard one.  V34?  no.  6Y4?
TG4?  OX4?  Not too common.  Yes, the few I've mentioned are a smaller
fraction of the ham community than the W4's, but we need to let the DX work
the DX sometimes.

I apologize for picking on the 4's.  I don't want to seem like I'm singling
out the 4's or attacking the guy who mentioned the 4's before... just an
example.

I personally think that by the numbers tends to be unfair and frustrate
people.  You get too many people getting hot under the collar waiting a
chance to even TRY to call.  You get people in Pennsylvania signing N3xxx/7.
  That's no good.

By the numbers should be used sparingly and with thought but sometimes it's
just the default way the DX operates.  I try to deal with it as best as I
can but I'd rather have a straight pile most of the time.

[DXR] DXCC question

2001-07-29 Thread Bruce Makas

Over the weekend, on the return from a hamfest, I had a debate with a friend
about what qualifies as a legitimate contact for DXCC.

Several different situations:

situation #1. My station (and call) is used for a multi-multi entry by our
club in the DX contest. Are those QSL's, when received, valid for my
personal DXCC totals even tho I may not have personally made all of the
contacts?

situation #2. I visit another ham's station and contact a new one using my
call. Does this one count for me? I agree that if he uses my call at his
station for the QSO, that is unethical and does not count but what if I make
the QSO using my own call? That's OK with the FCC, is it good with the ARRL?

situation #3. Our club has a club station with a unique callsign where all
of our members can operate. Can the club get a DXCC based on the contacts
made using the club's callsign.

Thanks in advance, a beer depends on your answers.

[DXR] DXCC question - the results are in

2001-07-30 Thread Bruce Makas

As I expected, the responses are divided on the three DXCC questions that I
asked of the list yesterday. There is some confusion amongst the active
DXers as to what QSO's are eligible for DXCC credit.

To get the TRUTH, I have asked Wayne Mills, N7NG, (or as a few of you
suggested, "the horse's mouth") for the answer. I expect that he will copy
this list with his answer. If he doesn't I will.

In summary, my questions (and the responses) were:

QUESTION:  situation #1. My station (and call) is used for a multi-multi
entry by our club in the DX contest. Are those QSL's, when received, valid
for my personal DXCC totals even though I may not have personally made all
of the contacts?

RESPONSES: Divided about 60% yes and 40% no. I believe that the older DXCC
rules specifically stated that all contacts must be made by the same
operator (the answer would then be no) but that the current rules (Rule 10 -
see DXCC home page) no longer say that (answer could be yes). If this is
true then the DXCC program has, in fact, changed from being an individual
licensee focused program to a station program. Didn't we also used to have
separate station and personal licenses? I also recall that in the past an
operator on a DXpedition could not contact his own home station for credit
(even if he needed it), but that this may also have changed. What say Wayne?

Several responders even said that although they believe the DXCC rules allow
this, they would not use these QSL's as they believe this would not be in
the spirit of DXCC (it is an operator program).


QUESTION: situation #2. I visit another ham's station and contact a new one
using my call. Does this one count for me? I agree that if he uses my call
at his station for the QSO, that is unethical and does not count but what if
I make the QSO using my own call? That's OK with the FCC, is it good with
the ARRL?

ANSWER: About 90% of the responders agree that if YOU make the contact from
another's station using your call, it is a good counter. Responders are
UNANIMOUS in their opinion that if someone else makes the contact from a
station that is not yours using your call (the ARRL calls this a "proxy QSO)
that this DOES NOT COUNT. It is interesting that if that other operator
makes the contact from your station, it does count. Or does it? See the
TRUTH from Wayne on question #1.

QUESTION: situation #3. Our club has a club station with a unique call sign
where all of our members can operate. Can the club get a DXCC based on the
contacts made using the club's call sign.

ANSWER: Interesting responses. About 75% of responders said that they knew
of club stations that had DXCC but fully 25% said that club stations were
not eligible for DXCC since the DXCC program is an operator focused program.

Good thread, thanks to all who responded. Several criticized me for asking
the list this question because all I would get is  opinions, not necessarily
the truth. They rightly pointed out that if someone needs an answer to a
question such as this, it should be directed to the ARRL DXCC desk. I agree
but also believe that we have shown that there is some confusion in the DXCC
community and that the ARRL could clarify a few of its rules.

Thanks again es 73,

[DX-NEWS] Deleted vs Expunged

2003-06-16 Thread bruce makas
Apologies to Bernie W3UR and the Daily DX Bulletin but the following is
copied from today's edition (you really should subscribe if you are not):

--
Reader K9KK, Rick, asks for an explanation of the difference between
deleting a DXCC entity and "removing" it.  I believe this comes up in
connection with the recent discussion of East Timor/Timor-Leste, the
operations during the "UNTAET" period and post-UNTAET period.  W3UR
says this has been asked a lot lately.  I'll try my best to explain
this, according to my understanding of it.  I do think it's kind of
hard to understand.  First, the way it used to be:  When a country
ceased to exist, it became a "deleted" country but still counted
toward your DXCC grand total of countries.  Hence, some old timers
have had 390 or so countries, though there currently are only 335
countries in existence.  When DXCC was revamped in 2000, that concept
was changed to this:  When a country ceases to exist it does not go
into you "deleted entities" list but is taken away from your all-time
total.  Hence, there will be no new "deleted" entities that count in
your total.  Bernie and I both prefer the old way.


My comment is that I, and all DXers that I have discussed this with, also
agree that the old way is better. I do not see any logical reason to
"expunge" (hope the spelling is right) a credit that was earned by a DXer.
The only possible reason that I can even think of is so the "new guys",
whoever they are, can get at the top of the all time list without having to
work at it for years. Seems foolish to me to ignore the accomplishments of a
long time DXer and his high "all time count" when the previous "current
country count" is also available. Number 1 plaques are available as is top
of the honor roll listing for all "current" countries. Keep the all time
counts going.

Any chance that we can get the League to reverse this absurd position?

Re: [DX-NEWS] [DX-CHAT] Deleted vs Expunged

2003-06-16 Thread bruce makas
Ron, You are right and wrong and this is the mis understanding everyone has.

On the one hand, you can work all of the CURRENT countries, qualify for the
DXCC honor roll and top of the honor roll (Number 1 plaque) on that basis.

On the other hand TOTAL countries is kind of like a "life time achievement
score." It recognizes that you were in the hunt for many years and yes,
there is always someone out there with more than me and I've been at it for
44 years. That's fine with me, just let me keep my all-time country credits;
I earned each one of them. I know that I'll never get to the top of the all
time list and, you know what, I don't think that anyone will ever get there.
So what? What I've earned is still an accomplishment as far as I'm
concerned. Let's keep 2 scores, current and all-time.

Re: [DX-NEWS] [DX-CHAT] Deleted vs Expunged

2003-06-16 Thread bruce makas
Hi Charlie, That is the way it was . The new way is, from now on, not
only to delete a country from the current list but to expunge (I think that
is spelled correctly) it from everyone's all-time total. Eventually when we
all die off, there will be no difference between current and all-time total
