I think of more importance to those of us on my side of the pond is the
preponderance of operators from Europe who may have a different focus than east
coast and central North America, arguably the most challenging location for VU4
signals. To be honest, fighting a rock-solid EU wall for 8
.
If I recall, 14195 became the DX frequency because it was a place
where DX stations could TX but that Americans could not (US
privileges started at 14200 for the longest time). Maybe it's time to
revive that tradition and make 14145 the new default DX frequency on
20 SSB. It could have the

I have discussed the immense noise problems with Stig over a periode of

places, different polarisations etc but to no avail.
If somebody has one of these noisecancelling devices not being used, perhaps
it could be shipped
You hear a lot of interesting things on 30. There is often a RTTY station
on 10101.0 that sends long transmissions. I don't believe it's an amateur
station.
That is a German Met-station sending WX-reports.

I heard USB the other night around 10.110, and some Swede replied that SSB
is legal on 30m there. However, the QSO sounded much more Spanish than
Swedish!

You are above average on sensitivity to other people's situation. It
probably comes from your experience from foreign lands.

I sure wish DX'ing was the way it was back in the 60's and 70's
when the CW bands were loaded with very rare DX. The
bureau system worked great, and you could bet that a nice looking
QSL and 1 IRC would definitely bring you a direct card back.

I concur ! We may add the
I think I saw less DX calls than ever. A lot of
big guns I'd expected to run into were never seen, but more so, some of the
delegations seemed to be down. I can't remember the last time I saw so
few JA or OH or DL calls around; never ran into any PA's or Eastern EU calls,
I wonder if FT5XO folks are using amplifiers on 20-10m?
Yesterday they've been around the noise level on Paragon and SOMMER XP8 on
17-10 meters and 5 el monobander on 20.
The 30 and 40 signals were much stronger and comfortable to deal with.

A question for all What does the DX community think about a rare DX
