[DX-NEWS] Press Release: FOCUS75 Magazine

2013-07-29 Thread ragnar otterstad
 


 Fra: Roger Western g3...@btinternet.com


Subject: Press Release: FOCUS75 Magazine
 Press Release: FOC - FOCUS75
Magazine
 
During the month of May 2013 the First Class CW Operators' Club hosted a CW
QSO Party, FOC75, to help celebrate the Club's 75th Anniversary. This turned
into a major CW fun event for the whole month. Over 60 stations around the world
signed with the *FOC prefix, making over 200,000 CW QSOs and leading to over
1,600 applications for our commemorative certificate - well beyond our wildest
dreams. This was a major tribute to Samuel Morse, Alfred Vail and to the Club's
motto: A man should keep his friendship in constant repair (Samuel Johnson,
1709-1789).

FOC publishes a quarterly magazine for its members called FOCUS, a
high-quality magazine edited by Gabor, S57WJ. But this FOC75 event met with such
huge success that we have decided to publish an extra edition, called FOCUS75.
FOC is pleased to share this special edition of our magazine with not only
members but also anyone who enjoys CW. Just go to http://www.g4foc.org/ to
down-load it. Read the whole story of this month-long celebration of Morse Code,
especially the operating experiences around the world, and see photos of those
who made it happen in a pull-out poster.

CW is alive and well and will remain so for at least the next 75 years -
FOC will see to that!

73 de Roger/G3SXW,
FOC Committee
Secretary.

[DX-NEWS] The good old days!

2013-04-18 Thread ragnar otterstad
Food for thought ! 

Is my memory failing me, or do I remember a time when DXpeditions used to have 
CW ops that could churn out QSOs at a rate of 150-180 an hour, hour after hour 
with virtually no drama and with a reasonable knowledge of propagation?

With the odd exception, all l hear now is an operator that is like a rabbit 
caught in a car's headlights, hopelessly trawling across 15-20KHz of a boiling 
pileup for 30-40 seconds before managing to extract a two letter fragment of a 
call sign, throw it back at the pileup with 599 tacked on the end, fully 
expecting this to result in a QSO.

Then throw in a few time saving tricks such as sending at 40wpm, with a 
speeded up RST, only sending his call every 15 minutes, sending dit dit where 
clearly a TU DX1DX UP is needed, abandoning QSOs halfway through,  not 
confirming a queried call correction, insisting on working an area to which 
there is no propagation on the strength of working one superstation there, 
working by numbers etc etc. What a mess!

The result?... a situation where only the Loud, Lucky and the continuous 
calling Lid prosper.
It seems the quality of an operation is now judged by the speed the QSOs can be 
uploaded to LOTW, Clublog or the like, rather than the skill of the operator.
Perhaps a small scale operation from a less needed entity, or a few hours using 
Pileup runner would give these guys an idea what to expect before launching 
themselves off to a rare one.
I just can't imagine what pleasure they can derive from operating like 
this..a bit like me trying to conduct a symphony orchestra and expecting it 
to be alright on the night!

Vedr: [DX-NEWS] Best Practices for DXpedition Operating

2012-12-12 Thread ragnar otterstad
Europe is a big place too !!  hi
By the time all Italians,Spanish,French etc  have been worked 
often the band is closed in Scandinavia !!

People tend to forget that there is a different world up here in the Aurar-zone

Emne: Re: [DX-NEWS] Best Practices for DXpedition Operating


Very true Mike,

The United States is a big place tootoo often it's East Coast and 
West Coast forgetting everything in between.  The other problem is 
that most DX stations always start with 1's.  Living in the 9th 
district...

A month or so ago there was a DX station on from Africa.  He was quite 
loud in W9.  He was also loud in EU.  He probably had propagation to EU 
for two or three times the number of hours than to NA.  Both the Midwest 
and East Coast were calling but couldn't break through the EU pile-up.  
After quite a while a few East Coast stations made it through.  Then the 
DX station switched to US call districts...1s,2s,3s,4s.  Of course this 
made EU ops angry...and the cluster comments started right away.  He 
didn't work just 5 or 10 per districthe worked each district until 
there were no stations left in that district.  Any more 1s..any 
more 1s?  Please any more 1s?  He worked 1s for 35 minutes

By this time the West Coast was hearing him quite well...it was over 90 
minutes later.  Of course a few West Coast stations called out of turn.  
Then it was standing by for West Coast only.  Another hour elapsed, 
the pile-up got nasty and by the time he got to 9's and 0's propagation 
was gone.  Good thing I didn't need him and was occupied doing other 
things in the shack.

And of course he never stood by for SA, Caribbean...all of which were 
copying him too.

Call districts is a bad idea anywaywork the propagation not the 
numbers.

 Hello Benny,


 Try to imagine our senses here in zones 17-18 when DXped op start to

 Europeans shocking! When DX OP start to call outside of EU they 
 usually coming to the DX freq with comments, carriers and so on.


 Several years ago I got back to the HAM-radio after some years of my 
 radio silence and I was just shocked by behavior of DX-ers in a 
 pile-ups!

 Even JA-s are not like some Years before.


 Seems all World is changed. And not into a better shape. Why the the

 THE GREY LINE WORKS FOR DXPEDITIONS TOO.  CALLING FOR EU AT EU SUNRISE

 Hello,

 We believe that much of the chaos on the bands during DXpeditions is 
 caused by the operating tactics of the DXpedition operator – this 
 leads to poor operating by DX-Chasers, and therefore to chaos. At a 
 meeting of RSGB, CDXC and GM-DX on October 13th we agreed to 
 strengthen the ‘DX Code of Conduct’ and to prioritise the DXpedition 
 side. This has now been completed, thanks to Wayne N7NG and ‘DX 
 University’, and has been renamed ‘Best Practices for DXpedition 
 Operating’. Please see:

 http://www.dxuniversity.com/showpage.php?id=20title=Best_Practices_for_DXpedition_Operating

 or go to www.dxuniversity.com http://www.dxuniversity.com/ click on 
 DXpeditioning Tools, then Basic Practices. Each of the 13 points is 
 hyper-linked to some explanatory text.

 We would hope that DX organisations will adopt it as a  condition of 
 funding. This would hopefully spread to become the normal requirement 
 for all DXpedition funding: DXpeditions would not only ‘support’ it, 
 but would also implement it on-air. In this way we expect that chaos 
 on DX bands can be reduced somewhat whenever a DXpedition is under way.

 I look forward to seeing your comments,

[DX-NEWS] Visit to Kosovo : 16-23 Sep 2012

2012-09-25 Thread ragnar otterstad


 Two CDXC Members (Nigel G3TXF and Bob MD0CCE) were pleased to be able to play 
a small part in the recent re-launch of Amateur Radio in Kosovo.

CDXCers may be wondering why there has not been an earlier posting on this 
Reflector about the operation.  Both of us were late invitees to the special 
event, on which Martti OH2BH, has been working with the Kosovar 
Telecommunications Regulatory Agency continuously for several years.  Martti 
had asked us to treat the information as confidential until the operation 
started and to allow him to issue the Press Releases under the control of Hans 
Blondeel Timmeran PB2T the President of IARU Region 1. This was not only 
sensible from an accuracy standpoint , but it was also only right as Hans PB2T 
of the IARU was involved, and also, of course, considering the sensitivities 
around the whole topic of Kosovo.  We now have their permission to provide this 
short report to the CDXC Reflector.

The undoubted highlight of our visit to Kosovo was attending a ceremony hosted 
by the Kosovar telecoms regulator (TRA), where the first of the country's new 
Amateur Radio licences were awarded. These licences were no ordinary licences. 
These radio amateurs are no ordinary radio amateurs. Most of them had been off 
the air for the past 23 years or more, and each was keen to get back on the air 
again, following Kosovo's move into the new era of full sovereign statehood on 
10 September 2012.

These eleven Kosovar radio amateurs had each been active as YU8s back in the 
'old days' of Yugoslavia. However during the period of the various conflicts 
which engulfed their region, most Kosovar radio amateurs were unable to operate 
at all. For the most part their equipment had been confiscated. With the issue 
of these brand new licences, the presentation ceremony on 17 September was 
indeed the start of a new era in amateur radio in Kosovo.  The event was 
covered by the main TV station in Kosovo and shown on the 7:30 news; the first 
QSOs made by the new amateurs were shown on the 11:00 news.

Through their newly formed national society (SHRAK) it is hoped that this group 
will be the nucleus for the re-emergence of amateur radio as a self-training 
hobby throughout Kosovo, and particularly for the younger generation. The 
seminar which was organised by the TRA for the presentation of these new 
licences was attended by the Kosovo MP who is also the Cabinet Minister for 
Economic Development (which includes Telecommunications), the Chairman of the 
TRA (the telecoms regulator), and a representative of the Ministry of Education 
(who sees Amateur Radio as a positive theme that could be usefully introduced 
both into schools and into technical colleges). The potential benefits of 
Amateur Radio as a foundation for further studies in electronics and 
telecommunications were evidently appreciated by those attending the callsign 
licence presentation ceremony.

Hans PB2T, spoke at the ceremonies and also spent a full-day with the TRA 
(regulator) discussing regulatory and licensing matters.  The Kosovar 
government had been advised by Croatia, Finland and Turkey in the drafting of 
their telecommunications legislation, and Nik 9A5W had been specifically 
involved in the legislation related to Amateur Radio. 

When asked by the newly-licenced amateurs, Hans PB2T told them that Kosovo was 
not recognized by DXCC at this time, and that this ceremony and his visit had 
nothing to do with DXCC, but that the purposes of the trip were:

    - to help insure that plans were in place for the re-establishment of an 
amateur radio infrastructure consisting of regulations similar to those in 
other IARU countries,

    - the establishment of a radio society open to all amateurs in Kosovo,

    - the development of new licensees and new entrants into amateur radio,

    - and the development of a robust society in all aspects that would 
eventually allow them to apply for IARU membership.

Hans PB2T accepted the licence for Z60K and became the trustee for the callsign 
related to this special event.  The purpose of the Z60K special event operation 
was to help to raise awareness of the re-emergence of amateur radio in Kosovo.

As with any Amateur Radio station, the callsign is an important feature. The 
callsign uniquely identifies the operator and the location. As part of the 
process of establishing its independence Kosovo (which is now recognised by 91 
countries including the USA, the UK and most of the industrialised world) the 
telecoms regulator (TRA) has already set in train both formal and informal 
processes so that it be allowed to use the currently unallocated national 
prefix Z6.  We were advised that this process was started by a letter sent to 
the ICAO (the UN's specialised aviation agency) in November of 2011 and that 
the 25-nation steering group appointed under the UN Settlement Process was 
still in an advisory and approval position in August 2012 when the Prime 
Minister

Working numbers can work, but it is arbitrary and not the most effective. It
really accomplishes nothing but dividing the pileup. It accomplishes nothing
more. There are better ways.

The DXpeditioner should be paying attention to propagation and where/whom he
is working. An important DXpedition must pay attention to the target area,
the one of the three population centers in the world that is be the most
difficult. Working by continents accomplishes this as well as dividing the
pileup. Where you have two more-or-less equal targets you can even run two
separate pileups, one in each area. Yes, it can be done, even on CW. Even
Europe!

IN this case the pilot is well informed.
But check their weblog  to be sure.

A very impressive operation, indeed !!

 I would wait to check the logs or send
 it in anyway. Just because the pilot station says they
 weren't active there then doesn't mean a lot. 
  
 Remember the tremendous cunfusion surronding the 1A0KM
 operation back in the early 90's? Their initial
 published operation schedule showed a very limited operation
 and only a couple operators. They showed up on a lot of
 bands at once and a lot of people thought most of them were
 pirates. It turned out the operation was more extensive than
 originally published and all those QSO's were
 good.
 
  
 Probably any further discussions should be on the
 DX-chat list.

 If you worked TX3A on 
 RTTY on 14 Nov between 0400 through 0700 or so, it was a
 pirate.  I have confirmed via the pilot station that they
 were not on the air. They sure fooled me, because the beam
 heading and frequency were correct he acted exactly like
 TX3A, even telling some they were dupes. I bet he worked a
 hundred or more, mostly JA with some scattered NA and
 Europe. At least we know ahead of time so we can work the
 real one. Go gettim

[DX-NEWS] YI9PT about to come on the air.

2008-01-31 Thread Ragnar Otterstad
This would not be Radar of MASH-fame ?

73  rag  la5he


I am pleased to be part of a group of stateside hams supporting K2PT, Radar
a Marine in Baghdad, get on the air.  YI9PT should be qrv in the next week.
We are in the process of acquiring an amp and low band antennas.  Radar just
received the IC7000 loaned by ICOM.  NCDXF and INDEXA provided funding for
purchasing a SteppIR 2 element beam and other basic station gear.  There are
several other hams in the green zone and we hope this station to be a club
effort involving several nationals and Iraqi hams.

[DX-NEWS] BS7H in western EU on 17m

2007-05-01 Thread Ragnar Otterstad


Good signal from BS7H on 17m SSB this AM ard 8-9UTC and huge EU pile.

At about 08:50UTC the Op announced: I can hardly copy any of you, I 
think I qsy to 20m He always just said BS7H listening up.

What about all those various techniques for the DX to segregate a pileup 
into manageable chunks?Hope to get through but we have all of eastern EU,
Russia  China in 
front of us.
I thought Swains would be difficult and Scarborough would be easy. But 
Swains was childs play compared to what we have now.

73 de Werner, HB9US


I hear them on 17 CW today, weak but workable - if he had been selective.
Scandinavia is not the best location to be in !!  hi

Condx were poor, I never heard any of the stns he worked so had no idea
where to call.

It would be nice if the operator indicated his QSX  +/-  so we dont spread
out too much.
It is my impression that some of the operators are less experienced.
Hopefully they will learn.

The conditons they operate under are not so nice so we must be tolerant !!

[DX-NEWS] Pile up behaviour.

2007-03-05 Thread Ragnar Otterstad

WRONG ANSWER in my view --

Identification after every QSO is necessary, particularly in a contest --
and it is a requirement of most licensing authorities.

In a contest situation, patience is not a virtue!  QSO RATE is the measure
of success.  Wasting a few minutes here and there waiting to determine the
callsign of a DX station running a huge pileup is a bad thing.  The top
operators ALWAYS send their callsigns either after every QSO or after every
second QSO both during contests and DXpeditions (SXW  TXF are good examples
of the right way to do it!).  Nobody should EVER depend on a DX Cluster spot
for positive station identification.  I've heard some DX operators, mostly
during contests, work stations for upwards of 10 minutes without ever
sending their callsign even once (and to make matters worse, when they
eventually do send their callsign, their signal is in a QSB fade)!  That is
extreme, but it does happen.  These guys think the whole world revolves
around them and EVERYBODY knows who they are, which is abolutely silly
during a contest when that operator is only one of hundreds of rare stations
running pileups.

One possible solution for this serious problem might be for the contest
sponsors to make a rule that every station MUST identify his callsign after
every QSO or after every two QSO's during a running situation.  The top
operators routinely do this, and they maintain outstanding QSO rates while
doing so.

  Rag is right, but identification after every single contact would
  not be necessary if
  the callers exercised an old-fashioned commodity called PATIENCE.

  Listening for a few minutes to find out who the fuss is over is not
  difficult.

  And if all the callers were cluster addicts, they would know, anyway ?

  Ragnar Otterstad wrote:
  
  
   I think that much of the poor behaviour can be caused by bad operating
by  the DX operator, the worst aspect being infrequent sending of the
callsign.
 I listened to a guy on an IOTA in Turkey on 10mHz who went on for over
15  minutes without giving his C/S and very infrequent Up. So the first
layer
 on his QRG were saying the equivalent of  who is DX  , the second
saying   up  ( etc !!) and the rest couldn't hear anything anyway. With
increasing
ease of travel and light equipment it is too simple for ill-trained or
inexperienced 
operators to go to a sought after site and cause havoc,  which  includes an
excessively large spread.

 I think this is a very valid point. Some of the otherwise excellent
operators going places  are bad with their ID-ing. I have even experienced
this from
FOC-members. Unfortunately not all work like our friends Roger/Nigel , who
have
exemplary  conduct on the bands ! 
We should all tell people who dont ID-properly to improve their style !

RE: [DX-NEWS] 3C0M on Low Bands

2006-10-26 Thread Ragnar Otterstad


Still no low-band operation by Elmo 3C0M. Seems to QRT around
2230-2330Z every evening. and not QRV until well after his sunrise
next day. Perhaps power is switched off at night?  Any info Europe?

Central USA has a good 40M opening to W Africa from around 2230Z,
well before our sunset, until 0200Z+. Too bad if Elmo can't stay on
at least that long.
---

So far this has been a frustrating experience. the high bands are closing
early here in the North.
We can see spots showing him on 17 and 20 m, but  NADA here.

It would be great if Elmo came on 30 and 40 meters after 16-17 UTC and later
on 80.

73  Rag LA5HE




This morning I observed that K7C did standby for EU and any non JA's, and
just as my experience from Myanmar the JA's did not standby.

Assuming this is a language problem, I suggested to the K7C 40m operator
that when they want other than JA they should choose a different listening
frequency.

I assume (hope) he will pass the word to others.

 Wayne reported on 40m SSB tonight that they will
 leave on Friday or  
 stay another week.
 
 GL to all.

They were quite strong on 80 ssb early this morning,
but the operator seemed very inexperienced, working
simplex so nobody could hear who he came back to under
the pile-up !
One would think he had listened for Europe and gone
split once he worked his first European station. No
such thing happened, unfortunately.

The 160 m CW operator did a good job though !

Cher Om Jean-Michel
I think I may have one or more of the cards you need.

But i must do some digging in my old QSLs as I have
moved since I worked these stations and dont know
excactly where they are.

Re: [DX-NEWS] CQ CQ for Turkmenistan

 I'm trying to find an EZ station who'd like to set
 up a sked for a 
 40M SSB QSO long-path to W5. No luck so far tracking
 down anyone on 
 the air or by e-mail. We're just coming to the best
 time of year 
 (second half of Nov). If one of our Russian friends
 reads this, or 
 someone in the central Asian republics, and can get
 an EZ operator 
 with 40M SSB capability to e-mail me, I can suggest
 the best times 
 and frequencies.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 John, NT5C,
 

Why not learn morse ?  Plenty of EZs on CW on any
band.

Re: [DX-News] Audio clips from TO4E!

 --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev:  Hello! Signals from
TO4E are coming quite good up to
 Sweden. But we have
 a lot of problems with LIDS and Policemen on there
 QRG:s. 

You can say that again 

I am envious of you chaps who actually hear them so
often. I see postings on the cluster but nothing 
is coming through here on the higer bands.

Best sigs are on 30m, but they dont spend much time
there when we have openings, it seems. AND they loose
controle over the pile up and get frustrated. I
understand why, but they are in charge and should be
able to handle the situation!!  hi
