You mean some people dont like grassfields ?  Hi   I think football probably is the most played game world wide, I mean the real football . Millions all over the world was watching the games.   73  Rag-    Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better international DXers? And NFL and basketball "World Champions"..and when a real world championship comes around, like the recent World Cup in Germany, most say they rather see their grass grow!   Rob HK3CW ----- Original Message ----- From: LA5HE Ragnar Otterstad To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 3:23 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better international DXers? That reminds me of the American  " World series " of a game not played anywhere else but in NA !    hi   73  Rag LA5HE That's a funny story Peter.   Yanks do tend to be a bit parochial and have this belief that "global" means everywhere between California and Maine :-)   Dave G0OIL ----- Original Message ---- From: Peter Forbes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Thursday, 3 August, 2006 10:24:45 PM Subject: [DX-CHAT] re How do we make better DXers? A classic example of cultural misunderstanding?   Last Saturday afternoon (local time), KH8SI was coming into Australia S9+20 on 14 mhz SSB.   The American operator was using a combination of number and area by insisting on " east coast 1's, 2's and 3's"   The inexperienced VK operators (of whom there are many who only operate weekends) kept calling and calling and calling.   The KH8 operator was quite abusive telling the VKs to shutup, the VKs were quite abusive because they were doing exactly what the operator was asking for.    This went on for about 30 minutes, until one of the experienced ZL operators was able to catch the attention of the KH8 operator and point out that "east coast 1's 2's and 3's was EXACTLY where VK1, VK2 and VK3 were situated!   Inexperience on behalf of the VKs or the KH8 or both ????????   Cheers   Peter   VK3QI
