Re: [DX-NEWS] DX Antenna

 Curtain antennas are typically used by Broadcasters
and at Coastal stations, who all have a  forest of
them in order to cover different parts of the world.
Very impressive

[DX-NEWS] Working low bands from the West-Indies

2001-11-21 Thread ragnar otterstad

Listening to W0YK/6Y5 this morning on 80 CW inspired
this:

Some of the fellows who are operating low bands from
islands in the West-Indies are neglecting to work
split. This is very counter-productive. Nobody here
can hear who they are coming back to, as they are
covered up by strong EU signals calling. Some people
seem to be calling without even hearing the DX station
! and some make LONG calls !
So gents,if you go on a DXpediton please QSX 2-20 kHz
up, say so frequently and PSE send your own callsign
often, preferably after each qso.

73 and have fun

[DXR] A DXer's view

2001-09-14 Thread ragnar otterstad


 Hard talk is what many of us feel like doing now. 
 But talk is not worth much relative to fixing the
problem.  I will say, and honestly believe that
 nothing can stop this country from taking care of
 the business ahead. As far as I can see and hear, NO
ONE is willing to sit back and wait until it
 happens again, here or abroad. We will take care of
 the cowards, and let there be no reservations that
all Americans will sacrifice if necessary.


A sober approach would be to analyse what USA has done
wrong in order to create enough hatred so some people
are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. With an
ignorant president you need some wise and knowledgable
people in the government, who can review your foreign
policy and come up with some much needed changes.The
lack of understanding the world outside USA and to
some extent Western-Europe has led USA to make some
serious mistakes. Not knowing who committed the
horrible terror attack, for the sake of argument let
me just make an example: It does not take a rocket
scientist to understand that the lack of support to
the Palestinians struggle for freedom and
selfdetermination is not winning friends in the Arab
world while at the same time the oppressers are
receiving several billion in aid every year .

You may not believe it, but in many places around in
the world, some of us have had to stress that we are
not Americans in order to be treated politely !

With respect and sorrow

[DXR] 20 meter DX window

2001-05-16 Thread ragnar otterstad

  John, 14195 HAS BEEN the established DX window for
 decades. This is 
  not something new. 73,Pete-K8PT
 
 Come to think of it I think you are right. I just
 hope that some over
 eager DXers chase away anyone not on a DXpedition
 (scheduled or not)
 that calls CQ on the frequency. It's that I have
 heard some IOTA types
 that jump in on 14.260 and tell stations to QSY as
 the frequency belongs
 to IOTA whether there is activity or not. Thanks
 input Pete.
 
 John N6JM

Come to think about it, back in the dark ages when
people like Gud Browning was still around the
dxpeditions used to transmit around 14115-125, which
was not a bad idea. Today, if there are more than one
dxpedition is QRV on SSB problems tend to emerge on
14195 !

Re: [DXR] VU4 in Bulletin #506

2001-04-09 Thread ragnar otterstad


I was told by one of our Indian fellow hams that there
are severe military restrictions on Andamen oand
Nicobar islands. I dont understand why, but it seems
to be a fact.
Laccadives is a tourist area and you can get there
easily.  Getting a permit in India appears to be quite
a challenge - also for the natives. They inherited the
British bureaucracy and refined it to an extent we
find incredible. For an Indian to become a ham, it
takes quite an effort. That is probably the main
reason for relatively few VUs on the air considering
the size of the population and their educational
level.
