Re: [DX-CHAT] Spotting DX (be a better spotter)

Jim and others, YES - and YES but ALSO I have long advocated for the spot to have some information about the spotter! I often use: dx 14.002 YU6DZ 589.w5.3L Which means that I am hearing YU6DZ on 14.002 and he is 589 in W5 land and I am using a 3 element directional antenna. Then when I see a s

Hi,   Well, for what it is worth here is my thoughts.  I am sitting at 325 and of the 10 I have left, several (3 or 4) have "no likely chance" of operations.  Why keep them on the list? If a country does not allow activity from an entity I would like to see them go off the 'active' list.  However,
