[DX-CHAT] will this help?
Will this help? If a DXpedition station gave out serial numbers, incrementing for each QSO (like some contests ), would that retard pirates? A pirate could give out serial numbers, too, but could he ever get so close in sequence to the real DX to make confusion? Also, would serial numbers on the incoming QSL card requests make hand log searching easier? 73, Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
Re: [DX-CHAT] Yaesu FT-2000
We shouldn't assume that improved receiver performance comes automatically along with all the extra features. For example, although the FT-1000MP is my primary workhorse rig, I have always been disappointed that its raw sensitivity on a totally quiet band (10M long path for example) is not as good as my old Kenwood TS-940S, which will be back on live standby when the sunspots eventually return. John, Do you have the INRAD Front End Mod installed? This really seemed to liven up my FT-1000MP, especially on 10 meters. It is only $55 and can be easily installed and removed. See http://www.qth.com/inrad. I live out in the country and have very little problem with environmental noise. With the mod installed, I can easily hear a difference in the level of white noise when the antenna is connected. So, in theory, I should be able to hear anything that is at or above the environmental background noise level. 73 de Bill Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

Is call pirating really a major problem for DXpeditions? It might make QSLing a tad easier, but I think trying to get everyone to understand what's being done might be an exercise in futility, and if you think pileups are bad NOW, I'd hate to see what would happen with serial numbers. In this age of online logs for major DXpeditions, if I don't see my call show up within 2 or 3 days of a QSO on a needed band I just make another Q.
