I think that's a great idea as long as the people you're calling were there when you made your announcement. It would be a good idea because no one could easily jam your transmissions, and there would be far less doubt in the minds of the stations you're woring that they're in the log if YOU call THEM on THEIR frequency. The drawback is that every new person who shows up is going to sit on 14195 saying "Where's the DX?" unless you go back there every few minutes and announce what you're doing. 73, Zack W9SZ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [email protected] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
