Hi Larry, Not knowing anything else about the guy I would cut him some slack and send the card with a 7.0 MHZ frequency. At least he is trying CW which is more than can be said for a lot of folks out there. He even QSLed which is another sign that his heart is in the right place. If he is nervo

John, I agree. Only problem is some of our "brethren" get rather greedy when DX is out there and have unrealistic expectations of operations. To use your own words we must remember that the goal of the activity is to "provide relaxation for service men and women far from home." That translates

Based on IRC's I have received (several hundred), the post offices use a standard cancellation stamp showing their post office and date. For both old and new IRC's, they are stamped on the left side of the coupon. The new coupon does not have a place to stamp the price of the IRC. The old coupon

Bruce, I may be missing something, but using your logic, a "new guy" could NEVER get to the top of the all time list as there are entities he couldn't possibly work as these entities are on the deleted list. The current method levels the playing field as available entities are available to all.

I wonder if the program handles this? An old call (sometimes not so old) is reissued and cards before December 2002 go to the old K5%$# and cards after December 2002 go to the new K5%$#. I'm a card sorter for the 5 buro and I have instances of this in my files. Ron ND5S Visit my Website at: www

There are several issues working here. If the operation is legal in the country of operation then they have every right to operate. But to knowingly sneak onto an island (Desecheo) and intentionally "hide" their operation in the interior in order not to get caught causes real problems for those w
