[DX-CHAT] QSLing KH6

2006-12-30 Thread Mike W2LO
I recently worked a KH6 on 160 who, on his website, requests that QSLs go 
via his European manager. Now considering that he lives in the same country 
that I do it seems a bit much to request that I use an 84 cent airmail stamp 
and a GS or two or an IRC to get his card back.
I realize that I should simply work another one but has anyone else 
encountered this issue?

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSLing KH6

2006-12-31 Thread Mike W2LO


   Thanks to everyone for their input. I've been in this game almost fifty 
years and this was a new problem.
   I should have stated that I in fact did QSL direct but after several 
months I've received nothing. I enclosed a GS plus an SASE figuring that 
working mainland stations can be a pain for KH6/KL7 so I'd give him an 
incentive to reply but I've gotten nothing. Maybe in the due course of QSLs 
I'll get it.

   Well, it's not as if it's BS7 or 7O.
   Thanks, everyone, and have a DX-filled New Year!

If u worked KH6ZM who has been active on 160M, Massimo he has I0MWI for a 
manager as he states.  If  you continue to read all of the info available 
he also has at the bottom of the page:
QSL directley to my manager I0MWI. US/Canada stations may send direct to 
me. Bureau cards will be answerd as time permits. Sorry...no e-qsl's. Bio

All this said, this thread might have never happened ;-)   Joe Friday might 
say "Just the Facts Ma'am'"

Happy New Year!.. 73/DXRon (-:

[DX-CHAT] 30 Meter SSB QSO

2006-01-26 Thread Mike W2LO
 For the past fifteen minutes I have been listening to an SSB QSO between 
two stations largely concerning boating, personal matters, etc. in English 
on 10.131 USB. I assumed they were just that-boaters. I was amazed, however, 
at the end of their contact that they both signed (non-US) ham calls using 
accepted phoenetics that you'd hear on our bands. Now they could have been 
pirating the calls but if they were pirates, why bother with calls?
I know that this is an ITU issue, but are there any administrations 
worldwide that permit SSB on 30?

RE: [DX-CHAT] 30 Meter SSB QSO

2006-01-26 Thread Mike W2LO
Thank you to the many individuals who replied. I always believed that SSB on 
30 was virtually prohibited world-wide. While I've heard SSB on 30 before, I 
assumed that it was due to the fact that it's a shared band, pirates, etc. 
The QSO I heard was between two stations licensed by UK area 
administrations.

This site is the place to come for information. Thanks again!

[DX-CHAT] 7Q7RM Logs Closing

2006-01-26 Thread Mike W2LO
This was in the news in the Fall but is worth repeating. G0IAS (that's a 
zero), manager for Ron MacFarlane, 7Q7RM , who died last year has announced 
that he will permanently close the logs on Ron's many years of operation 
from Malawi later this year. If you need a card, I suggest you you contact 
him soon.

Thanks, Ron, for the many years you played radio with us. 73.
