Hi Tom:

I agree with your stance on timely LOTW submissions.   I support the 6 month 
rule.   

However, it is your choice to ask for a confirmation now or wait for it.   The 
Colvin Award (administered by the ARRL) states 12 months uploads.  

Complaining about the $5 is that red herring.   What's next, demanding free 
admission into Hamfair 2012 in Friedrichshafen because you have a right to see 
the shiny new boxes that cost thousands of dollars and buy the great beer (also 
costs $5)?

See where this goes?

See you in FN next month and we can discuss this further over that beer.  I'll 
buy.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DX-PEDITIONS FOR US POOR FOLKS?

2012-05-20 Thread Don Greenbaum
 that'll put you over the top and into the Honor 
 Roll or to HR#1, maybe.
 
 If you're so poor that you can't afford $10 or $20 a couple of times a 
 year, when you've bagged a biggie across a bunch of bands and modes, then 
 there's something wrong and I definitely think you should reconsider your 
 choice of hobby, or your desire to be a DXer.
 
 Yeah, there are DXpeditions that I work once or twice and I'll send an SASE 
 or an IRC or even request a bureau card for. These are nominally the ones I 
 worked just 'cuz they were there and I thought gee, it's been a couple of 
 years since I workedentity  onband. But if it's something I spend 2 
 weeks chasing up and down the spectrum, damned straight I'll toss at least 
 $10-25 into the hat, maybe more if money's not as big an issue as it is now.

 From: kf...@njdxa.org [mailto:kf...@njdxa.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Jairam
 
 
 I don't begrudge a DXpedition for asking for a few $ or € to covver their 
 costs. It's your choice to work them. It may not fit someone's definition 
 of ham spirit but I also understand that without the donations, many rare 
 entities wouldn't be activated. It's just how it is.
 
 Some hams spend more than just money - they risk life and limb, just so you 
 can get a QSO in the log.

I contend that it's the packet spots (just DX call and frequency) and
nothing else.  People blindly go to them and if they hear the DX, just
start calling.  W3LPL spots compound this problem because they *never*
mention split operation.  Here's an albeit pathological case from TX7M
today - only 2/5 spots mention split frequency operation:

SP7CXV 18077.8 TX7M lsn up-3
1607 25 Oct
LX1DA  18077.7 TX7M QRM by F-Nino F6AML

SV2BOH 18077.7 TX7M over than qrm tks
1558 25 Oct
OM3SX-@18077.7 TX7M up1
1551 25 Oct

Also, many DX stations working a pileup rarely sign their call or
mention UP between QSOs.  TX7M was different in this regard, I heard
one op send TU UP after each QSO.

People forget they have VFOs.  If they just tuned up the band a
*little* before starting to call, they'd hear the pileup!

Right you are Stu.

In fact, in 1997 VK0IR from Heard Island used ham radio satellites to relay the 
logs to me which I put up on our website within hours of the QSOs.

Back then I don't seem to recall the angst when a call wasn't found in the log, 
people just worked them again.

Maybe we make it too easy?

Online logs preceeded K7C by quite a bit. They are the first op that posted 
real-time listing of your call when they were or had just worked you. That is 
on-line logs on steroids. The more they give us, the more be expect everyone 
to do it and are disturbed when they don't do it quite the way we want them 
to. 
 
The Clipperton gang limped back onto their boat a tired and beaten group of 
people. They suffered quite a bit. Can't we just cut them a little slack and 
let them do things when they have time to do them. If you are not in the log, 
there is no way of now trying to repeat a contact. Not all apparent contacts 
end up in the log. There is way too much wasted bandwidth on this topic.

Barry, I'll vote with you.  Creating entities for the sake of creating 
entities is a waste.
Unfortunately, however, we must consider that the legal status of some of 
these islands is changing, and that complicates the matter with the DXCC 
rules.  IMHO, a more reasonable solution would be to change the DXCC rules 
to allow these entities to remain as they are in their DXCC status. All 
the DXCC Desk needs is something to further complicate their life.

It helps if you are importing a transceiver, which has already been approved 
by PTD, and RAST keeps an approved rig list on this web site. A wide range of 
VHF equipment is approved, a list would be too unwieldy to maintain. However 
bear in mind that the legal power output on 2 metres is 10 watts. The legal 
power output for HF is 200 watts. VHF equipment is widely stocked in Bangkok 
amateur radio shops and prices are reasonable. The shopkeeper will usually 
process the equipment licence for you as part of the purchase as long as you 
have your operator licence

So, I sent him a card from Dubai on my last trip with the return address 
A61AD, Iranian currency and a hand written letter (no qsl).  The return 
address on an SAE was a PO box back to Dubai.


I followed it up with an email.

What has you so excited?  

No one wrote you had to donate.  In fact, we wrote in our press release it 
was a thank you for those who made this operation possible for the 45K qsos.  
After all the direct qsls are answered we are uploading the complete logs to 
LOTW for everyone.

I noticed K4VUD is in the log, yet you were in HS land at the moment the QSO

Issues that need careful thought :

-real value prizes for ham contacts (or birthday celebrations or whatever).
-donations that are really purchases.
-contests that award with real value items.
-cash for QSLs.
-cash for LoTW.

My 2 cents get over the idea that ham radio exists in an economic vacuum

My point-- we need an open discussion of this issue because it is getting

Now here is a bit of trivia for all Shep fans.  Actually it's a trivia

During many of his broadcasts he mentioned another book.  The book never

What was the title of the book and what name did he use he wrote the book?

Oh yes!  I have a copy of the book.

How did they figure the US zones - by call sign which isn't too accurate now. 
My friend  a W4 worked BS7H but he lives in 9 land - did his contact count as 
a 4 land contact - I am sure that it did. I wonder how many Zone 5 and Zone 4 
calls are resident in Zone 3?

A friend of mine who runs a big contest station thought that he would be in 
and out but spent 16 hours before he worked BS7H and he has stacked mono 
banders for 20m.

There was no JA wall as far as I was concerned just very limited propagation 
times and too many stations trying to call in the very limited open band times.

This throws a lot of whining into sharp perspective.

They didn't work the U.S. enough?  We're second only to JA.

Totally impenetrable JA wall?  JA was only 900 hams ahead of the U.S.
total.  Granted they had 3x the QSO's but who around here had a real
shot on, say, 40m.

BS7H impossible from the east coast?  Zone 3 only had 600 more QSO's
than zone 4 and zone 5, which were equal.

21kqso to Asia, 16kqso to EU, 7kqso to NA... sounds like they did a
good job working the propagation...

Lots of selfish hams stealing away the chance for people to get a QSO
from BS7H by working them over and over again?  I don't think so.

2.5 times  as many people got only one QSO as who managed to get two.
2 times as many people managed to get 2 QSO's as got 3.  This includes
*all* regions.

Whoever got 24... wow.

Now they appear to be qrt for the storm as forecasted but a presence on two

they were in fact QRV on the low bands? Their Web site is less than clear on 
the subject.


Thanks
Cheers,

Re: [DX-CHAT] KP5

2006-06-29 Thread Don Greenbaum


Actually the KP1-KP5 guys got the Congress involved last fall in a great
attempt to get the FWS to open up KP1 and KP5.
In fact, it was Rep. Rahall  who was the sponsor of H.R.
1183.
Whoever has his ear obviously contributed big time to the Club Fed
report. It was very critical of the FWS for failing to be
consistent on not permitting ham radio operations for others.
The problem is, by criticising the hams that did operate and causing the
fuss while they were on the island the hams that are behind Rahall this
time gave all ham radio a black eye.
It may very well be a different ham who had this temper trantrum and
nothing to do with the earlier group.

On a different slant, I read, recently, in QST that you can set up

Subject:Re: [DX-CHAT] Working yourself on DXPeditions

 Seems to me if one isn't home to serve as control operator, then the actual 
 operator would be obligated to use his/her own callsign even if it's the DX 
 operator's gear. I haven't bothered going into the Part 97 Rules to 
 determine the specifics on this.
 
 I might also have an ethical problem with this, even if this is a loophole 
 in DXCC rules, since it's not really working yourself; rather, it's you 
 working your own equipment and somebody else.
 
 There's also the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which, in essence states 
 that one object (or person) cannot be in two places at the same time. =-O
 
 It took me several years to make contact with CQ Zone Two from home even 
 though I have run mini-DXpeditions to VO2 land in Zone Two.
 
 All this said, I *DO* talk to myself a lot these days in my encroaching old 
 age. :-[

 What are your thoughts of you working yourself on DXPeditions.  I have been 
 told that you can have someone come to your house and work you while you 
 are on a DXPedition using your call and you will get DXCC credit.  Wow, you 
 can get DXCC and never work a station yourself?  Let someone else use your 
 station and call and do it for you! Would a DXCC for Hire Person be in 
 order?
  
 How does this sound? HH4/W4WX de W4WX 59 over.  According to the rules this 
 is legal. 
  
 See rule #10 of the DXCC rules on the ARRL web site.
