[DX-CHAT] SM3CER Contest service
Hi, I use SM3CER contest service almost every other week but its not been up-dated since Sept/October does anyone know what happened? I've not heard anything. Its a brilliant site and carries everything I need to know about which contest is on and what I'm listening too if I hear CQ Test on the bands. Is the another site as good as this one? I haven't found one even close! 73 David G3XYP --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Mt Athos
SV0WI had permission to mount a trip there in the early 70's, a year or so before Martti went there. I was invited to join with them but declined, they eventually went to Rhodes instead. Funny how we can make a wrong choice sometimes. 73 David G3XYP - Original Message - From: G4GED Dave radiodave.g4...@tiscali.co.uk To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 8:39 AM Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] Mt Athos Now all we need is permission for a DXpedition! ;-) - Original Message - From: ragnar otterstad la...@yahoo.no To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 7:06 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Mt Athos http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/after-1000-years-women-can-see-treasures-of-mount-athos-1679730.html Close - bu no cigar ! 73 Rag LA5HE For a different vacation : http://de.visittelemark.com/ or http://www.telemarkskanalen.no/ were we are located on the riverside.

Hi Guys, Congratulations to the guys on Desecheo on reaching the massive 100,000 QSO's ... well done! I hope everyone has got their contacts in and is happy. Not many more hours to go but we do have a sunspot so maybe if you are still looking today will be better. I was lucky to get a CW QSO about 2 hours into the operation. My K5D baseball cap arrived yesterday and it's great, well made and clear printing, I am happy with it. So, go to the shop and order yours, help the expedition. Here as promised is my photo from yesterday on my Flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidrollitt/3306650693/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidrollitt/2804191664/ a QSL from Desecheo http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidrollitt/ Keep looking for the dx, its out there somewhere. 73 David G3XYP --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

[DX-CHAT] Are CW ops getting older?
HI, I recently made a few QSO's during the All Asia CW test, the exchange in the AA Test is RS(T) and Age for OM's. Having checked my contacts I found the average age was 49.1!! I wonder if anyone else checked their contacts this way. It will be interesting to do the same thing with the SSB test coming up ( I think) in September. 73 David G3XYP --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

[DX-CHAT] Country definition ...
Hey Joe, Nope, don't like it, I've been chasing DXCC since 1969, almost 40 years and I vote with ARRL and the way they do things. I know strictly I don't get to vote, being a G but they make it interesting. I love the DXCC and thanks to the ARRL for giving me something to chase. Regards. David G3XYP (worked em all one mode or another - but not em all on all modes!)

Re: [DX-CHAT] how to be DX?
Hi Charles, Peter and everyone, I agree with Peters comments. I would say from Eu HS is medium hard to work, I just checked, I have 16 QSO's in past 15 years with one Q so far this year. Its activity we want so get on and work 'em any way you have to. A lot of new operators are out there with the new no-code licence and that's increased activity. 73 David G3XYP PS does anyone have a working email for Daily DX ' s Bernie?

Charles, You probably answered your own question! With so little activity on the bands at the moment, there is stacks of spare real estate (read frequencies) available. If you do have to spread them out over a range of frequencies, do so with no feelings of guilt. You are actually doing the Amateur Service a favour by helping to populate the particular band. Good DX! Cheers Peter VK3QI - Original Message - From: Charles Harpole To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2008 11:19 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] how to be DX? I have a dilemma and would like opinions on this item, please: I am vy minor DX but get large EU pile ups anyway (likely due to boredom, no one else to call that moment). Due to EU calling practices, I must use split, and feel guilty about using two freqs. on the band. Thus, I use one listening frequency. But, after a few minutes of working the REALLY LOUD, most of the ten to twenty callers are all the same strength and I can not get more than one letter. I am loath to ask for a 5kc spread of listening freqs, or even more, due to guilt cited above. Thus, then I resort to calling by numbers, a practice so many dislike. What is the best op practice in this situation? tnx 73, Charles Harpole HS0ZCW [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 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 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] Ten Tec woes

Hope the rest of us get a good weekend dx-ing, with NO rig failures Best to everyone David G3XYP - Original Message - From: Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 12:57 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Ten Tec woes Hello Paul, I am sorry to say your response is the winner of the MOST LAME CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE of the year, maybe the decade. This cap blow up problem is now on its THIRD occasion, with identical symptoms, happening on Florida electrical AC power and now on a different electrical power, WITH NO lightning anywhere within sight on any of the occasions. In all cases, I monitor my AC power with a good meter all the time, and have NEVER observed power spikes upward and only the usual 5 volt dip when the air con comes on. I know micro spikes and dips can occur, but to think that such would cause a disk cermaic cap to blow up ON THE METER SHUNT BOARD, borders on stupid given THREE breaker/fuse before that, etc etc. I think this unit has a design flaw that you either do not know about or want to ignore. Further, your company should be aware of the poor reputation your customer contact history has. In my case, twice I have come close to ordering an ORION, and after a brief query with your offices, have been put off by the terse, simplistic answers. TEN TEC has some great products, but the co. should ask itself, Why is it not a major power in the ham radio field? Certainly, if you ask, I can tell you. Meanwhile, I see that I am on my own and that Ten Tec products are basically sold as is and rapidly become orphans in the storm. Good luck, Ten Tec will need it.

Sevierville, TN 37862 Hello Paul in Repair: My Ten Tec Titan 425 (first version), serial # 60A10120 was repaired in your shop on Feb. 1, 2006, Invoice number 091959, order number 093150. At that time you repaired the Meter Shunt board and a number of other items. This was the second such failure in the life of this unit. Since receiving the unit, I have used it for about 30 hours and now have the same failure again. A flat mica disk cap. on the meter shunt board is blown open physically, and the 25 watt resistor in the power supply also burned up. My home breaker stopped further damage. This is the third failure. I am writing for suggestions for repair because this fault appears to be happening often in this product. I need advice because I do not want further factory $330. repair bills on a unit that appears to have a design fault. Please help.
