[DX-CHAT] BS7H on 80M

2007-04-30 Thread Charlie, W0YG

They had a good signal into Colorado this morning.  I heard several
Stateside stations from CA to MN get through so they were being heard all
over the western US.  I hope they have as good a signal on 160M because now
I think we stand a chance of hearing them on this band.  It will probably be
late in the DXpedition before they try TOP though.

We have also been able to hear them easily on 20 and 17M so prop seems to
favor this area.  Haven't listened for them on 40M yet.

Re: [DX-CHAT] LoTW versus paper, etc.

2007-04-27 Thread Charlie, W0YG

On top of everything that has been said, there is no mention of the overhead
that any DXpedition faces if immediately uploading logs to LoTW and that is
busted calls.  The upkeep to unsnarl this would be immense.  I for one don't
want that hassle so I NEVER upload logs for at least a year if then.

If there is a busted call in a log and one is forced to use LoTW, which is
quite awkward to use in my opinion, one corrects it in their DXpedition log
and then uploads that one Q to LoTW.  It doesn't replace the busted call,
only resides alongside the busted call.  This seems quite awkward to me.

That's my 2 cents worth on top of every else's input.  It is just that this
perhaps had not been throught of when suggesting a DXpedition be forced to
use LoTW.

Before someone jumps on me with both feet, I know, there are not supposed to
be busted calls in a log.  Well let me point out one that always catches
me.  How about OK2BW and OK2BWK.  That is a tough one as it could go either
way.  A busted call is a fact of life for a DXpedition, guaranteed!

I do agree with the two previous posters general comments.  Do not do away
with paper QSLs!

Charlie..

[DX-CHAT] DXpedition antennas

2007-02-24 Thread Charlie, W0YG

I hope this is an appropriate place to list some antennas that I have that
were either used on DXpeditions or brand new waiting for another
DXpedition.  I have done my DXpeditions and think I will retire so I am
going to offer them on a forum that has DXers/DXpeditioners as subscribers.

First is a five band SpiderBeam that is brand new and complete with gobs of
spare parts as well as a 38 foot push up mast (I believe it is the 38 foot
model but it could be the 34 foot model, both same price).  This has been
assembled because that is necessary to make all the guys and elements prior
to going on a DXpedition.  It was assembled on the ground, tested, and
placed back in a box ready to go out but it never did.  It is brand new.

The mast is a heavy duty push up mast.  You will have to supply some sort of
rope guys as well as stakes.  I never got that far!  It is one heavy duty
aluminum mast.

The items can be checked on an airplane on a golf bag with cover or in one
of the hard sided golf bag protectors.

I want $750.00 for this antenna with spares.  You ship, I box.

I also have a K9AY special 160/80/75M antenna that comes in a gun case.  I
used this antenna in Namibia in 1995 but it has just sat around since them.
It is compact and amazing in its performance.  Changing bands is done with
with a hairpin (trombone) tuning rod and/or by moving the guys which have
the tophat closer or farther from the antenna.  I want $275.00 for this one,
again you ship.

I also have a nice full size telescoping 40M 1/4 wave vertical complete with
everything except small rope guys.  This antenna is direct feed, no need for
a match.  It can actually be used on any frequency from 40 to 10M just by
telescoping it down to the proper height.  I made up some pre-cut radials
that I will include.  They just bolt with an eyelug to the base of the
antenna.  I have it currently packed in a 2 PVC tube with caps on each
end.  Easy to travel with this way.  $275.00 plus you ship.

Last, I have an approximate 40 foot telescoping light duty aluminum mast
also in PVC tubing with caps.  I used this for inverted Vs when I was
restricted to wire antennas.  The top section has been reinforced with a
wooden dowel that was driven inside.  A pulley at the top will allow one to
pull up any wire antenna selected but I would definitely recommend RG-8X or
similar size coax to keep from overloading the pole.  Of course it could be
guyed in several places to prevent it from bending over in the direction of
the pulley if heavier coax were to be used.  I want $125.00 for this piece
including all clamps and hardware.

As I indicated, I hate to divest myself of these items but it is time to
move on.  All items are shipped at the buyers expense.

Re: [DX-CHAT] [dx-list] KH8SI

2006-07-31 Thread Charlie, W0YG
Yes, there are better CW operators on the Swain's Island DXpedition but it 
seems to be a mystery as to why they don't seem to be operating.  K1ER can 
handle anything on a key but all I have heard him on is phone.  Since I am 
not there, I cannot comment on much from that end, instead just try to make 
the best of it.  John is on 75 phone as I write this.


This is JA1BK's show.  He probably footed the bill for the whole DXpedition. 
He is allowed to call the shots!  Hopefully we all try to make the best of 
it.

I don't think there are any better CW-operators at KH8SI, it was real slow

Subject: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better DXers?



It was frustrating and sad to listen to the KH8SI and 4O3T pileups
this weekend (mostly SSB).

When the DX station says, The station with 7 in the call, ending in
Germany why do unrelated calls from all over the country continue to
call?  When the DX station comes back to a full callsign, why does the
pileup size diminish only by half, rather than all but one?  It
makes it impossible for a better DXer to find the station being worked
because so many others are still calling.

The rate of these DX stations is being hindered by out-of-turn
callers.  When the rate is hindered, fewer people can work the DX
station.  Especially limited-time operations like KH8SI.

It made me sad to be a DXer this weekend.  My QSO with KH8SI on 17
meters took THREE go-arounds because they could not get my call
(presumably because of all the people still calling).  That's TWO MORE
possible QSOs that were wasted by the out-of-turn callers.

OUT-OF-TURN CALLERS ARE SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE, RUINING IT FOR
THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE ELSE!

Re: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better DXers?

2006-07-30 Thread Charlie, W0YG
I totally agree with what Dan says BUT it just doesn't work that way.  I 
have made plenty of DXpeditions, none to a place I had to stay in a tent in 
100+degree weather or wear a jacket so heavy I could barely move.  When you 
say the CV station only, many guys still call.  OK, you say again, the CV 
only.  Now a few less call but they still are QRMing the QRG.  You say again 
the CV only.  Now a few less call.  Finally you get the station, F2CV or 
N0CV or whoever, but it wasn't because guys quit calling.  It was because a 
few savvy DXers understood you were coming back to one station only and 
finally stood by.  I personally will never leave a call if I get a partial. 
Rate be damned!


I have seen this behavior time after time.  I don't think there is anything 
one can do to get this across to the masses.  As the DX, I just keep at it 
and never vary.  If your call is CV, you are going to get in the log!


Now, that being said, when working a JA pileup, it can be a thing of beauty 
but sometimes this even bites you.  You come back to a weak weak ABJ and 
give a report and you hear ABJ come back, weak as water but hearable because 
the other JA's stood by.  However, to get ABJ to send his call twice or 
three times is like pulling dragon's teeth.  The JA stations are so polite 
that JA9ABJ doesn't want to run the risk of QRMing JA1ABJ.


None of this will stop me from going out again.  Look for me from VK9C in 
October/November this year.


That's how it goes!

The DX just has to be strict about who gets to get through.  The
pileup should be held up until WK7 gets to get through, or the DX says
the whiskey kilo seven please and is met with silence.  Yeah, QSO
rate may plummet, but that's just what has to happen to keep the
pileup in line.

I'm in favor of the DX giving specific instructions to keep the pileup
in line.  I've worked some hard ones on 30m because the DX sent UP
17 instead of just UP and three-quarters of the pile didn't follow.

The  more the DX can reward the good, skilled, and polite DXer with
the contact at the expense of the brute-force jerks, the better the
pileups will get.

[DX-CHAT] Peter I

Kudus to the Peter I guys.  Their operation was first class.  It shows that 
K4UEE and K0IR are excellent organizers and planners.  They did it and they 
did it right.


I hate to say this as the flames will probably roll in but before 
criticizing what is wrong, I suggest you walk a mile in their shoes.  I know 
when I am out on a DXpedition, and I have been on quite a few but nothing 
near as exotic as Peter I nor will I ever do one like that, what seems 
obvious on this end is not at all the case on the other end, the DXpedition

their equipment, their time, their sweat, their frostbite and your rules. 
It just doesn't work that way.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Peter I

Mal:

I am amazed you can sit here and tell them over there what they should have 
done.  It isn't in the cards for that to happen.  However you are certainly 
free to voice your opinion as I am mine.


The bottom line is those guys gave lots of folks new ones on lots of bands. 
I hope you worked them everywhere you needed them.

Charlie what you and many guys seemed to miss in my original posting was 
this sentence:
 Yes they did a 'bang-up' job, and yes they did it under horrible, 
grueling,  conditions.
I criticized one small segment of the xpedition, a part that rightfully or 
wrongfully, deserved criticism. I did not condemn the entire operation. The 
last time I looked The Constitution still allows me, and you, the right to 
express our opinions.
I have been on the other side of the pileups and pileups most people reading 
this can ever comprehend. I was lucky and was in a warm tropical climate. If 
nothing else I have paid all my 'dues' to earn the right to be a little bit 
critical.

 Kudus to the Peter I guys.  Their operation was first class.  It shows 
that
 K4UEE and K0IR are excellent organizers and planners.  They did it and 
they

 did it right.

 I hate to say this as the flames will probably roll in but before
 criticizing what is wrong, I suggest you walk a mile in their shoes.  I 
know

 when I am out on a DXpedition, and I have been on quite a few but nothing
 near as exotic as Peter I nor will I ever do one like that, what seems
 obvious on this end is not at all the case on the other end, the 
DXpedition

 end.  They call the shots.  It isn't going to be a case of their money,
 their equipment, their time, their sweat, their frostbite and your rules.
 It just doesn't work that way.

 Let the Peter I guys bask in the spotlight of an excellent DXpedition.
 Bravo Zulu!

[DX-CHAT] Lots missing from on-line logs

2006-02-14 Thread Charlie, W0YG
I think lots are still missing from the on-line logs.  That update message 
doesn't make a lot of sense to me where they say they are uploaded the logs 
through a time on 14 February.  None of my contacts from 12 February through 
the 14th posting are listed.  Still trouble in Peter I city!  We all must 
have patience!
