[DX-CHAT] Gitmo
Hi folks, Previously I said I would update the list when I learned something about Gitmo operations. The "official" word, as has been mentioned by other list members, is that Gitmo is not listed in appendix 1 of part 97 as an area regulated by the FCC. The US Navy is the regulatory authority, and as such is the only entity to define what is "proper" operation from Gitmo. 73, Duane, WV2B"Nothinggreatiseverachievedwithoutenthusiasm."-RalphWaldoEmerson.
[DX-CHAT] Working yourself on DXPeditions
What are your thoughts of you working yourself on DXPeditions. I have been told that you can have someone come to your house and work you while you are on a DXPedition using your call and you will get DXCC credit. Wow, you can get DXCC and never work a station yourself? Let someone else use your station and call and do it for you! Would a "DXCC for Hire Person" be in order? How does this sound? HH4/W4WX de W4WX 59 over. According to the rules this is legal. See rule #10 of the DXCC rules on the ARRL web site.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Working yourself on DXPeditions
Here is a answer I sent to someone that email me: - Original Message Why... I think it is very wrong. It is true you can get on the Honor Roll and never work a station yourself. Do you think this is right? However, it is legal. The only thing you need to do is designate a control operator to operate your station and it is legal. This has to be documented. The control operator is limited to his/her privileges. It is okay for the FCC rules, but the DXCC rules should be changed. The DXCC awards is a personal thing... The DXCC awards states: This certifies that Bill Gallier, W4WX has had two way communicationsetc...

[DX-CHAT] SW B'cast on 17m
Hi all, I was at a friend's QTH in Toronto (Canada) over the weekend and we were hearing what seemed to be a Chinese-language broadcast around 2300 local time on Sunday night on 18.161. With QSB, it was between S5 and S9 to a low-hung inverted vee. A friend in NYC also heard the b'cast, so it wasn't a local, I don't suspect. Any ideas? - Peter W2IRT Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
[DX-CHAT] control ops
From "FCC Rulebook" Every control operator is bound by the frequency privileges of his or her license, regardless of what class license is held by the station owner. So, if the visiting ham has a lower license, the owners call can be used, but the visitor still cannot go beyong the privileges of his own license. A visitor can use their own call at another station, but cannot go beyond their own privileges. If you visit a station of a lower class licensee, and use the station call, you must sign station call/ your call if you go beyond the station owners privileges. A lower class operator could operate as a third party with higher class privileges if the owner is at the control point. But, I guess the question is: Do you want to work DXCC as a station, or as an operator. I think most would feel it is the accomplishment of the individual, like you could go to someones station and work a DXpedition you couldn't work from home, and no one would argue that you didn't make a contact for DXCC. But, a station could also work DXCC. For example a DXpedition with multi-ops, or a contest station with multi-ops. I guess its up to the individual what he wants to do. 73, Duane, WV2B "Nothinggreatiseverachievedwithoutenthusiasm."-RalphWaldoEmerson.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Working yourself on DXPeditions
I had several remotely-operated internet-controlled PSK contacts while in Labrador two summers ago. One contact in particular was in Germany using his Austrian callsign, but actually making contact with me through a transceiver in Boston using a W1 prefix before his own callsign (W1/OE8xxx). While we had several pleasant QSOs, if he had QSLed me for VO2 for his OE QTH, I would not have been able to justify sending him a Zone Two card. The below reminds me of a guy serving as his own lawyer. He put himself on the stand, then for each question he would ask of himself, he went down to the floor to ask the question, then return to the stand to answer his own question. It got ridiculous when he asked himself to repeat the question. QSL direct, save yourself a little postage $, a lot of waiting time via the Buro, and send yourself as many green stamps as you have in your wallet. :-D 73 de Fred K2FRD At 1:59 + 04/04/2006, Steve-KF2TI wrote: On a different slant, I read, recently, in QST that you can set up some software that will allow remote operation of your own radio from anywhere in the workd, provided you have access to the internet and another computer So, I set this up and what?? the Tango Italy station go ahead Thank you This is KF2TI u r 59, name is Steve over Tnx Steve this is kp2/kf2ti, I am also 59.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Working yourself on DXPeditions
