RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
Read several comments about their card and today received mine... You are right, that is one class act card... Must have cost somebody big bucks Rod WC7N Nice , with glossy picture cards. But I tend to agree, it must add considerately to the cost. Is it worth it when it makes no difference for DXCC ? 73 Rag LA5HE 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: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
Amen to that Dick. LOTW will never replace the QSL card in your hot little fist. Especially since they somewhat personalize the QSO and so many of the QSLs are unique and show some of the culture/geography of the country. 73 all, Russ W4UBC - Original Message - From: Richard Diddams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter W2IRT [EMAIL PROTECTED]; john [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 2:19 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X NOT ME - I WANT THE REAL MCCOY - A BEAUTIFUL QSL CARD IS NICE TO HOLD, NICE TO SHOW, AND NICE TO ENJOY AND STORE IN MY FILE.

Re: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
I don't know - I agree with Pete - LOTW is fine. In fact, I'll go one step further - I PREFER LOTW. Why? QSL cards are clutter - I have more than enough clutter. I look at inbound cards long enough to log them into my PC, and I toss them in my desk - when I have had to apply for something, I sort them for the needed award, and I'm done - I'll probably NEVER look at them That said, I send out a nice full color card that I have gotten unsolicited complements back about. If your going to send a card make it NICE - but I prefer LOTW 73 de KG2V Charlie On 5/13/2006 Russell Kellam Jr wrote: Amen to that Dick.

RE: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
I want a hard card in hand, at any cost and waiting time. Almost 3 years wait and 50 bucks in postage sending too many times to count for a ZW0S card ! I'de do it all again too No Logbook confirmation can ever take the place of a real cardeven if it was made from a post it notepad. 1500 plus band/countries confirmed with hard cards.

RE: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
Well you have to remember, you're dealing with two or more different schools of thought here. There are those who collect QSL cards or equivalent merely as a means to an end, usually qualifying for an award (DXCC, WAS, WAZ, IOTA, WPX, etc.) For many of these amateurs, storing the physical cards are a nuisance, and for these, LotW is well suited. (To say nothing of the cost savings in not having to print mail QSL cards, make SASE's, buy or trade for IRC's, etc.) Then there are those who collect QSL's for their own sake, for their intrinsic beauty, and so forth. For these, LotW is unnecesary -- because the QSL card isn't a means to an end, it is the end. LotW will never completely replace QSL cards, _nor_ _was_ _it_ _ever_ _intended_ _too_. It is a merely a supplement to them. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles Gallo Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 8:46 PM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: Fwd: RE: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X I don't know - I agree with Pete - LOTW is fine.

[DX-CHAT] 3Y0X - 40M CW 15 Feb 06
0200 - 0530 UTC: WOW what a difference !!! QRG: ~ 7.021 MHz Good CONDX and skip long. Some stns calling on his QRG, but not as many as before. The key-down intentional QRM on QRG was only present after ~ 0400 UTC and was of short duration just a few times. Signal peaked to 599 here at 0205 UTC and stayed S9 for ~ 30 Mins. About - S2 of slow QSB. 3Y0X was monitoring his QRG and sending at ~ 28 WPM. Quite a few times he sent AS AS QRM QRM HI, went QRT for a few Mins then sent CQ CQ DE 3Y0X UP. Great !!! The QSO rate was much better than on eve of 14 Feb UTC. 3Y0X Op had pretty good ears. For me he had to !! Worked at 0239 UTC after CLG for ~ 30 Mins. My QRG was in the clear (as far as I could hear) and 1.2 KHz above 3Y0X QRG. Many TKS to the BIG OP in SKY. Was running 90W to H.B. 1/4 wave vertical. 3Y0X was S8 HRE. Gave me a 559, well he was giving all 559 or 599 :-) I kept my QRG 800 HZ to 2.6 KHz just above his QRG which was on the lower end of the throng. The throng was following his last QSO freq which was ~ 1 Khz to 20 KHz above his QRG. I waited for 3Y0X to come to me on lower end of throng. My W6ELProp has been right on the money. I did, however, change my reference signal level to .10 uV versus the Default of .50 uV to account for the sensitivity of the RCVR in my IC-765. I did this by adding 10 db in the Additive Signal Constant section of the setup. I also added 6 db for bands they are using the StepIR's and 9 db for their linears. I also changed the W6ELProp setup for a Minimun Radiation Angle of 5 Deg being optomistic for my verticals rather than the Default setting of 1 Deg - jeez an ant must be up 5 wavelengths to achieve any significant radiation at this angle. Doing this gives me a wider band opening window. If you would like to know how to customize W6ELProp for your stn power and ants, and the ants and power being used by a DXpedition, go to the www.mdxa.org home page and click on the Customize W6ELProp link.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 3Y0X
Nick -- three of my four QSOs with them are in the online log; the fourth took place after the as of date of the log. If by any chance you're portable you may want to include that info in your search. For example, my SSB QSOs are under KL0S/W4 and my CW QSO required a search for KL0S/4. Failing that methodology and if your QSOs precede the as of date I'd probably work 'em again just in case. Good Hunting!
