For something like VU4 or similar other-side-of-the-world
ultra-rare DX, it mostly comes down to a combination of propagation,
skill, your ERP and your receiving equipment. If you have no propagation,
nothing will help. All the skill in the world won't help if you're
competing with 50,000 other signals who are massively stronger and
equally skilled, and none of it will matter if your receiver and/or
antenna is so poor that you don't hear the DX coming back to
you!
But at the end of the day, it's a two-way street and if the DX isn't
listening for weaker signals and you're in the wrong part of the world,
that contact probably isn't going to happen unless you have some way to
get his attention.

Thanks, Bill... I got it. http://www.niar.org/vu4/qsl 
Apparently they received my card, IRC,and return envelope...because 
they show my name and address on the website along with the QSO data. But 
they also say "Please confirm if any change in your QSL info"... 
and there is no link for contacting them. There are no changes I need to

Has anyone receive a card from them

Unfortuntely, No is sometimes used as an abbreviation for the word

The proper abbreviation, at least, if one wishes to use it is No.  Here

Re: [DX-CHAT] vu4 log again

2005-03-09 Thread Fred Souto Maior
Hello guys:

Yes No record found 1n our VU4 Log really means number of records found in
our VU4 Log and after
that you find  in algarisms the number of qsos with
your call sign on VU4 log. So if you have 1 qso it
must shows No records found in our VU4 Log 1.
The qso listed below your call and your address  refers
to the qsl card they received or the qso you asked for with your qsl and NOT
what they can find on the log.
So in the case of W3JJ, I'm sorry to say that he isn't
on the log. 73s

I have one of those - it has Bill Clinton's picture on it.  :-

I would also guess the VU4 operation was as phony as that bill.  Did
anyone get a beam heading on the signal?

If you can get a License from the Indian Telecom
and the permit from the Indian Wildlife for such
an operation, then you will succed.

 I'm confused about the reasons VU4  can not be considered a candidate for
 activation, or is this true?  Looking on the internet, I see that area
 promoted as a great tourist spot.  Looking at the photos on the various
web
 pages, it would seem that it would be an ideal spot for a Dx-Pedition.  I
 also see that apparently there was an operation from there in 1997.
What's
 the catch?
