[DX-CHAT] Pls spread the word

2007-03-05 Thread Steve-KF2TI
Please help spread the word:

Due to a recent flood of bogus subscribers (and I mean almost 100 per 
day between the 2 reflectors), Urb has instituted (finally  :-) ) a 2 
step subscription program

Step 1 requires you to input your e-mail address (the one you'll be 
allowed to receive and post) with

Step 2 will be receipt of an e-mail (at the subscribed address) that 
requires you to verify that you did indeed subscribe, by clicking on 
a URL link

Once that is done, you'll get a welcome message and the rest is 
automatic

I realize that this is a tad more than what was needed in the past, 
but it was taking more and more time to delete the bogus addresses

If, in a pinch, you need assistance, I am always available to help

Have a good DX day and remember...Just because  BS7H is coming on the 
air doesn't mean we have to act like goofs  AND remember this..if you 
hear me trying to work them, keep it down to a dull roar until I make 
my contact  ;-)

[DX-CHAT] Additional info

2007-03-05 Thread Steve-KF2TI
The new subscribing methods only apply to new subscribers only

If you are getting posts but can't make a post, then you are not 
posting from the same address

You can only post from the address you subscribed with

IE:  I subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I can not post from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are already subscribed, you are a-ok

sorry for the confusion

Steve

[DX-CHAT] 60 meters DX web page

2007-03-05 Thread Charles Harpole
While I am proud to be the first USA ham to make a DX contact on the 
then-new 60meter band, I have to remind USA hams that this band was approved 
for USA use with the assertion that it was needed for emergency 
communications, mostly with USA to Carrib stations during hurricanes.  It is 
likely that QST chose not to print my DX achievement so as not to highlight 
the DX dimension of the new 60m band.  (Altho that news did go on the ARRL 
web site.)  I was also one of the dozen or so hams with an experimental  
license to do the preliminary ops on this band when it was at the testing 
stage.  Nice band if a sliver.


It is ironic that this band has seen very little use of its first intended 
purpose.  Especially is it sad that the Hurricane Watch Net apparently has 
not availed itself of this ideal frequency to continute contact to the 
Carrib. when 20m closes for the nights.  73
