[POSSIBLE SPAM]:Re: [DX-NEWS] ham DXpeditions also operating 11m?

2002-12-03 Thread Jennings
Hi all I was unaware of this activity and would agree with W3UR that operations such as this "blurr" the distinction between legal Amateur radio activity and illegal spectrum activity. Virus is perhaps not a strong enough word. It is a cancer that could destroy our hobby in years to come. We are al

I'm not surprised that these DXpeditions are operating on 11 meters, after all, they include greenstamps with their QSL requests, too. I'm sure those contacts help defray the costs of of operating as much as amateur contacts do. This is not to say I agree that they should be operating. One way to

Bill I was unaware and sad to hear about the recent Gambia DXpedition also participating in this devastating activity. These Freeband operations have some serious potential to hamper future legal Amateur Radio DXpeditions! I know the ARRL is currently studying any input they receive on this subj

Bill, I sent an email to Bill Moore asking what the DXAC's position was on the validity of DXpeditions that operate freeband in light of DXCC rule 12c. I haven't received a response yet. My belief is that their QSLs should be disqualified and the ham operators on the operation should be banned fro

I just did a search on google. Yowzers, these characters have their own equivalent ARRL with DXCC, they talk about DX and QSOs just like we do. They are quite brazen, with names and addresses stateside and abroad, along with shack pictures of them and their Icoms, Kenwoods and Yaesus They

I am astonished by the number of ham DXpeditions who are also operating on 11m 'freeband'. For example, the recent ham DXpedition to The Gambia appears to have also operated on 11m as 118AT/DX with freeband QSLs to 310AT102 (aka YL3CW). These callsigns apparently assigned by the Alfa Delta organi
