Al:
You have my sympathies! Only a few have it worse--somebody should
also look up K5NN and ask him how he feels about it!
Nope, don't know him. ;-)

I would point out that in order to work DXpeditions such as VP6DX
on CW, realistically, all that is required is the ability to
recognize your
own call.
Your report will be "5NN" or, perhaps "599". Your response is
something
like "TU 5NN BK" or "QSL 5NN BK" or just "5NN BK", easily stored
in a memory. If you have the K3 cw decode ability you may not even
need to recognize your call! Do I approve of this type of
operation? Not
really but anyting that encourages cw operation is a plus.

OTOH, the requirement for a QSL is to establish and confirm 2-way
contact.
At the rate they were making contacts, sometimes five or six a
minute, I'd say
the requirement was adequately met when they returned my call
accurately. BTW
'VNN' to most contesters and DX just sounds like the tail of
another 5NN -
which sure doesn't make it any easier. After 4 hours of listening to
them
working Northern Europe, I was never quite sure if it was my call
coming back or
an RST.
The best part of the contacts with VP6DX was working 12, 17, 1nd 30
M for
the first time on an 80 M Dipole, and working RTTY with the bug.
