Re: [DXR] DX and ESP ?

2001-04-22 Thread n4kg

Hello Charly,

During my serious contesting years, I recall episodes of being
to replay an exchange in my head and extract information I
that did not register the first time around.  At first, I questioned
this replayed information but the information was always confirmed
when a repeat was requested.  This was most commonly experienced
on 40M SSB during Sweepstakes contests.

Low Band DX contacts are often 'verified' on weak signals in the noise
by comparing what is heard with expected information, i.e. my call,
when it is not possible to copy unknown information but a known 
sequence can be either confirmed or denied.

73,  Tom  N4KG

 is 
 especially interesting and lots of US tax dollars were spent 
 investigating 
 it) and because during some especially difficult DX contacts, I have 
 had the 
 feeling that I made the contact (that he heard me or I heard his 
 reply) 
 beyond regular expectations, given the very difficult condx.  This 
 has also 
 happened to me during contests.
 
 I am also interested in stories of hallucinations during long 
 periods of 
 radio operations especially if the stories relate to radio results 
 (not just 
 hallucinations, but radio ones!).
 
 You may reply in confidence and be assured I will not use your

 any way related to this inquiry or you may reply without id.  I am a 
 serious 
 researcher with a Ph. D. and know how to do this kind of scholarly 
 work 
 ethically.  Thanks, Charly K4VUD

I suspect many QSOs result, not from ESP, but from 
wishful thinking.
