Re: [DX-CHAT] Working a DXpedition Finale

[N7MAL]

I had already made my decision when I posted the question. Unfortunately we have company coming this weekend so ham-radio is not a real option. However if it were not for our previous commitments I would have welcomed him to give it a try. But,, only for this reason: He has a 'big-time' station and there is no doubt if he were at his station he would have no problem working the new IOTA. He is a good, well seasoned DX'er.   well seasoned=ole fart(like me) 73     MAL       N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.htm http://geocities.com/n7mal/ Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

I just received an email from a ham who lives several hundred miles away from me.(he will remain unnamed but most of you know him) He asked:  ""Would you let me use your station to work a new Chilean IOTA?"" ""I need to find a station in the Laughlin or Bullhead City area this weekend that I could operate to work a new South American IOTA. I will be in the area this Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning and would like to give it a try.""   The IOTA doesn't have the prestige of DXCC or Honor Roll but where is the line, if a line even exists any longer? Don't you and your station need to be in the same place to count a contact for an award? At least in this case the ham wants to use his call at my station, or is that even legal?   MAL       N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.htm http://geocities.com/n7mal/ Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
