Re: [DX-CHAT] LoTW
I have been thinking (it happens...) and I am going to upload the 9Q1EK and 9Q1TB logs to LoTW. I have there before the logs for my own calls and also ZK1EQL and CU2/SM7EQL. There is a reason (beside busted calls which often happens due to the QRN in Kinshasa): I have worked almost all the DX there is to work, and as my XYL for 40 years passed away in cancer October 28th 2008 I wanted to have something to keep me occupied. However I don't want to be as stubborn as Mr Harpole, and therefore the logs will be on LoTW as soon as the administrator has sent me the certificate keys. IF you don't find your call in the LoTW, please e-mail me as I can very well be a busted call.

[DX-CHAT] Addition: A How to QSL statement--final version
I wrote this below, and what I meant was that : If you send a QSL to manager, there should not be any need to read the K4VUD statement. You have to trust that the QSL-manager is not completely stupid! Also, I want to add that mail theft is really not as usual as many think - I have mailed hundreds of cards direct to Russia (just an example) and nobody has told me that the letter has not been received! Now I will get out of this never to end discussion, all the best and 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC First comment to the K4VUD statement: That was the most complicated statement I have ever seen regarding QSL'ing... I get around 10 - 20 cards for 9Q1EK and 9Q1TB every day - if anything is wrong, like USA missing on the envelope which happens often, I just add it. Cards go out same day as received if I'm not as busy as today getting my new 160 meter antenna up. As QSL-managers we have to do the best we can, reading the K4VUD statement every time you send a QSL out, should not really be needed - maybe for those managers that are un-experienced and should not be managers! Maybe it helps that I'm retired and have been working DX since 1962. Anyway, the strange feeling about LoTW by Mr. Harpole made me upload the 9Q1EK and 9Q1TB logs to LoTW today. 9Q1EK and 9Q1TB are now the only licensed amateurs in D.R. Congo. 9Q1D has retired to Sweden, and 9Q1NT to Belgium. 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 12:18 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] A How to QSL statement--final version SUCCESSFUL QSLing de HS0ZCW Steps in sending a direct QSL to a DX station: 1. Obtain correct address via qrz.com or use the GO List for QSL manager addresses, or search the Web via Google. 2. Consult the DX station’s web site or web information for special instructions (such as “direct only,” “no IRC,” or whatever). 3. Send via Air Mail. If you know the DX station has postal theft problems, send via Registered Mail (or via FedEx if you are really desperate—one good FedEx is better than three lost Air Mails). 4. Write your own QSL card clearly in permanent black ink. 5. Use UTC/GMT times and dates only. Be sure to label which number is the date and which number is the month and year (for example, is 9/2/03-- Sept. 2, 2003 or is it Feb. 9, 2003 or maybe March 2, 1999 or Feb. 3, 2003?). 6. Clearly mark if your contact was a QSO or if you are a SWL. 7. Be sure your own call sign is printed clearly ON THE SAME SIDE OF YOUR CARD as the contact information (YOUR CALL SIGN ALONG WITH time, date, band, mode, etc.). 8. Use very clear type face for your printed call sign. No Old English type; no cute curlicues, etc. Put a slash in all zeros. Be sure your number one, your I and your lower case l (L) are clearly different (note problems with 1, I and l, can you tell the difference?). Oh and Zero and V and U are problems. Use upper case block letters only. 9. If you are THANKING receipt of a QSL, mark that clearly or you will get a second card and will waste time and money. 10. Always enclose a self-addressed return envelope (sae) that has: a. Your complete address, printed CLEARLY, and include your country (not everyone knows AK is in the USA !). b. Do not affix postage to this envelop* unless you are absolutely sure the DX guy can use it at his point of mailing. (I get USA postage affixed, but I want to mail it from Thailand… duh!) c. Try to avoid folding your sae; use nesting envelops. If you just must fold the sae, never fold it exactly in half ! d. Use press-on/self-stick envelops and fold the flap open--that is, back over the address side so that the envelop is fully open. OR, if you use wet-to-seal glue envelops, which are stronger, be aware that these may self-seal in humid environments. ALWAYS fold wet-to-seal envelops open to avoid self-sealing. e. Place the non-info side of your card against the sticky part of your sae or place the green stamp against the sticky part of your sae. f. Do not put anything inside your sae. g. Write your call sign on the sae where that writing will be covered when the sae is sealed by the DX operator—in the place where the glue will stick. This allows finding your envelop and your card when the two have been accidentally separated. h. Because almost all mail today is air mail, use pre-printed air mail envelops or print “air mail” on your sae. i. Envelops that are pre-printed with “return postage paid” are GREAT ! 11. The outer envelop: a. Do not seal your outer envelop so that a finger can not get into the flap to open it. b. Use “security envelop” which has colored printing inside to retard seeing through the outer envelop. c. You can not configure your envelop to stop postal theft so just use normal sealing methods and skip inserting extra paper hoping to stop postal people seeing through your envelop. Super sealing jobs invite attention of postal thieves. d. Do not write any

[DX-CHAT] BS7H thoughts
Pushed the wrong button so this went to W9SZ... Martti, OH2BH, has been on Scarborough Reef before and that didn't make him stay home! If you find the old book Martti wrote Where do we go next?, you can read about his first real DX-pedition to Annobon, 3C0AN, and it was the first operation from that island. No landing strip but the inhabitants on Annobon tried to make one and a small military aircraft from Libreville managed to land. More problems when Martti and OH1MM were to be picked up, the aircraft was heavy and the pilots were not sure if they could take off - shall we leave Martti or the equipment here? They decided on the equipment... This was in 1972 and Martti has since always had problems with complicated malaria - it's been real hard for him. Some DX'ers do a lot of dangerous things for us sitting here in our houses. My friends in D.R. Congo (9Q1D, 9Q1EK and 9Q1TB) have been shot at by local rebels in Kinshasa, and Georges, 9Q1EK, has gunshot holes from a Kalashnikov in his UN marked car. . Don't criticize, try yourselves to go to places somewhere, more rare than the Caribbean Islands - even though these places also may be somewhat dangerous as JR (Johnny) Cash once had robbers breaking in and shooting in his house in Jamaica. It also looks dangerous (for WAS) to live in Oklahoma, Kansas etc. these days... And please NEVER go somewhere by car, there are always drunks driving in the opposite direction!

It seems there are people willing to go to these places so we can sit in our comfy chairs and try to work them. They do so on their own responsibility. They took the risk and great personal cost to do so. How are THEY going to feel if the entity is deleted and their work was for naught?

I really don't know where the mass of deliberate QRM comes from, though mostly it seem to be from east or south-east into England so could come from anywhere in Europe. Certainly a lot of the undisciplined cretins seem to be Italians, though I'd certainly not state that it's ALL from Italians, nor that ALL Italians are bad operators. Many a time I hear a pileup, and the DX is asking for (say) Alpha Bravo Charlie ONLY, but listening through the QSX spread I still hear so many without ANY of those letters in the call still shouting away. OK, maybe we can all mis-time a call and double with the DX, but surely most simply aren't listening. Just the other day JT1Y told everyone to QRX, then asked for United Kingdom stations only - and all the deliberate QRM started immediately: whistling, keying, white noise, swearing, blowing raspberries etc. It's just comical. I don't know how to explain why some people would deliberately send QRM over a DXpedition. Perhaps patience is a lost art. Perhaps self discipline is a lost art. Certainly here in the UK, respect for other human beings is now a lost art, particularly in the cities where gangs of feral youths terrorise neighbourhoods, vandalise anything in sight and stab of shoot each other. Education is long dead in this country and has been for a generation thanks to idiot politicians, do-gooders and political correctness - and maybe the results of this failure are making their way across society. Perhaps the activities of IT9RYH and IK1JUO have got the Italians an even worse reputation and have caused everyone's patience to wear thin, but that doesn't excuse what went on yesterday. I';d agree that Sourthern Europe probably has good propagation to BS7 most of the time - they seem to have good propagation everywhere most of the time - though here in Northern Europe propagation windows are much shorter. That was particularly pronounced with N8S. I'd also agree that an expedition should give time to difficult-to-reach parts of the world, but the way things are at the moment, if BS7H had called for North America only yesterday, then there would probably have been bedlam.

If you believe any of the propagation prediction programs, Europe generally has propagation to BS7 24 hours a day on at least one band, often as many as 5 or 6 bands are good simultaneously, so if the Scarborough guys are QRV chances are EU DXers will get a much better shot at them than NA will. Serious European DXers will likely get them on several bands and modes. Yet in the 3 hour window for NA, these clowns won't stand by or stop bitching on the DX frequency. On the other hand, it would also be nice if the team would call NA for a few hours at a time; seemed like it was JA and EU day all day long. I'm sure that will change in the next day or two, so I'm not too worried. Yet . I don't know what the answer is; perhaps the DX operators once in a while should have a listen to their TX frequency and administer the clue bat when things get bad. Maybe along the lines of since you are so badly behaved, no more Europe for the next 12 hours, and hold to it.

I really don't know where the mass of deliberate QRM comes from, though mostly it seem to be from east or south-east into England so could come from anywhere in Europe. Certainly a lot of the undisciplined cretins seem to be Italians, though I'd certainly not state that it's ALL from Italians, nor that ALL Italians are bad operators. Many a time I hear a pileup, and the DX is asking for (say) Alpha Bravo Charlie ONLY, but listening through the QSX spread I still hear so many without ANY of those letters in the call still shouting away. OK, maybe we can all mis-time a call and double with the DX, but surely most simply aren't listening. Just the other day JT1Y told everyone to QRX, then asked for United Kingdom stations only - and all the deliberate QRM started immediately: whistling, keying, white noise, swearing, blowing raspberries etc. It's just comical. I don't know how to explain why some people would deliberately send QRM over a DXpedition. Perhaps patience is a lost art. Perhaps self discipline is a lost art. Certainly here in the UK, respect for other human beings is now a lost art, particularly in the cities where gangs of feral youths terrorise neighbourhoods, vandalise anything in sight and stab of shoot each other. Education is long dead in this country and has been for a generation thanks to idiot politicians, do-gooders and political correctness - and maybe the results of this failure are making their way across society. Perhaps the activities of IT9RYH and IK1JUO have got the Italians an even worse reputation and have caused everyone's patience to wear thin, but that doesn't excuse what went on yesterday. I';d agree that Sourthern Europe probably has good propagation to BS7 most of the time - they seem to have good propagation everywhere most of the time - though here in Northern Europe propagation windows are much shorter. That was particularly pronounced with N8S. I'd also agree that an expedition should give time to difficult-to-reach parts of the world, but the way things are at the moment, if BS7H had called for North America only yesterday, then there would probably have been bedlam.

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.

I have even monitored stations intentionally interfering with high seas rescue operations where lives hung in the balance. If people with transmitting equipment are sick enough to do that, how can we expect any less regarding Dx operations? There are many possible motives involved in qrming a particular Dx operation, and expecting the ones doing such things to somehow develop self control and concern for one's fellow man is not realistic. Can we somehow come up with new ways to circumvent the problem of qrm on the DX transmit frequency? Maybe, but I don't think answering callers on their own frequency is the way.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Why use IRCs?
Barry! For Sweden postage to any country is SEK 10 and one USD is around 7.85, plus that it's very expensive to cash in dollars, our banks like high fees... Here one IRC is good for up to 20 grams anywhere in the world by priority mail, we no longer have any economy mail. And if one wants to cash in an IRC there is no charge for it in Sweden. So for you to pay $1.30 for an IRC is cheaper than sending two dollarbills. Of course, using an SAE with a mint SEK 10 stamp is the best - until there is a postage increase! ( Mr Plum has them ). And also, why not use LoTW? 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 7:23 PM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Why use IRCs? Just wondering why anyone in the US still uses IRCs. In most countries, a greenstamp covers it. Secondary market IRCs are ~$1.30 and they expire and can't be recirculated forever like the old ones. Countries where postage is more than $1 typically require more than 1 IRC for airmail return to NA.

Re: [DX-CHAT] KP5 QRT Saturday a.m.
Yes, they may be calling Europe now - but it's been dark here since hours, not a chance on 17 m. Some hours earlier when he was 59 here he only worked USA. Yes, I heard him once call Europe only but he didn't say USA stand by so after working two EU's he went on working USA... Also, propagations are very different between south Europe and up here near the arctic circle! We see a lot of TV-programs from USA, and children have no idea about Europe and the countries here. I need KP5 on 17 and 30 meters, have lots of cards from before 1993 - we were supposed not to call if we didn't need it for a totally new one, but I have heard a lot of US-stations which for sure have worked KP5 before! 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Osten B Magnusson [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx-chat@njdxa.org; Jim Reisert AD1C [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2005 4:50 PM Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] KP5 QRT Saturday a.m. Hi Osten, That is not fair!!

[DX-CHAT] K7C and DXA
It's been explained by Bob, KK6EK, on the WEB - too heavy load on the server, and in order to reduce this they have today changed to data upload every 5 minutes, it was every minute from the start, later two minutes. 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC[EMAIL PROTECTED] I worked them yesterday at 20:31z on 20 cw and this morning at 12:18z on 30 cw.

Re: [DX-CHAT] [DX-News] FR/E - Comments
Hi Larry and others ! Maybe the negative comments are due to the fact that nothing about the ''off-air'' times is mentioned on the TO4E WEB-site? There is a very large ''time-table'' on this site with information on the best times to work them from different areas on different bands covering 24 hours. Also, even I, beeing a European, have some problem understanding the informations from F5CQ, first I thought that the meaning of not ''having energy'' for 24/24 was that they were too tired... Myself I'm waiting for TO4E to show up on 80, don't think we will have propagations on 160, but it's going to be difficult if they have to close down every day at 19.45 UTC. I'm not negative to the operation, the CW-operators seem to be very good, I have not listened on SSB. But I feel that it's wrong to have a WEB-site with in-correct information. There could easily be a ''news'' update on that site every day in an understandable langauge. http://europa2003.free.fr/europa_2003-e.htm 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Larry, K4WLS [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [DX-News] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 3:57 AM Subject: [DX-News] FR/E - Comments I as well as you have seen numerous negative comments on FR/E on the cluster nets.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Vlad - UA4WHX
Hi friends! I remember that in 2002 Vlad was in Central America and worked from a lot of ''entities there, and he said it was OK to QSL either direct to his homecall in Russia OR to his AC4LN address, but the US-address should take longer time as he picks up the mail when he is in USA. I sent my cards to theAC4LN address and got reply in spring 2003, those postmarked in Russia. He is not only a good operator but a good QSL'er. However, I don't know about bureau cards as the cost for that service in Russia has gone up very high recently. Maybe we shall try to convince as many DX'ers we know to use LoTW. I had a QSO from last night confirmedvia LoTWtoday, 9V1GO on 160 meters, and Singapore israre here in Europe on Top Band. 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ARRL DXCC Fieldchecker - Ursprungligt meddelande - Från: Gary Stone Till: Dave Anderson, K4SV ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 10 november 2003 17:38 Ämne: Re: [DX-CHAT] Vlad - UA4WHX Hi Dave and others, I was just about to ask this very question.

[DX-CHAT] 7O -facts!
Lots of thinking I just can't understand, these are the facts: 1 7O/OH2YY If he had permission or not we don't know and neither does Bill Moore. As of today it's ''a no documation received'' case. 2 7O1A had written permission from the PTT-office in Aden, but the head-office in Saanah said that the Aden office did not have authority to issue permits. Therefore it's ''an unlegal operation''. 3 7O1YGF No real documentation received by ARRL. What Wayne Mills, N7NG, got when he was in Friedrischafen this summer seems to be sort of proof that the group were operating from Yemen, but nothing else. Not sufficient, but maybe the group can have additional paperwork coming up. I will not quote DailyDX as there is copyright, but maybe you can have information from the editor, Bernie, W3UR, who has talked with Wayne still on vacation in Wyoming. 4 As you can see, none of the 3 cases above has been treated wrong by the Bill or Wayne at the ARRL DXCC-dept. 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
