Back in the 80's 891 and 1521 were always in together right after Sunset night after night. The same holds true today. Right after sunset, if 890 is getting a banging het from 891, I check 530, 550 and 710 and each and every time all have hets on them from 531, 549, and 711 always in semi au cx and

When DXing, I might report a carrier as an aside, as an FYI type of thing to others, especially if it's some rare signal or something I or others have been hunting. But unlike one very well known DX'er, I don't log a JBA carrier, assume what station that is and put it in my "official" log. No... n

A carrier or weak audio may likely be a particular station, and if I have previously logged it with IDable material I may presume that it's what I've previously heard. So that's not claiming a new station, just reporting on reception conditions. You could argue that a distinct known offset, like

I have been chasing DX for almost 50 years. In ham radio, when I exchange signal reports with a DX station, I enter the station in the log. With one-way DX'ing (LW, MW, FM, TV, etc.), when I hear (or see) the call sign of the DX station, I enter the station in the log. But what about all th
