Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems
I wonder if it includes one particularly active station on Galapagos, who has accepted several shipments of greenbacks over the years, but has not yet coughed up a card.

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems
I have worked a very active station on Galapagos who uses LOTW, and he fires confirmation out in very short order. I encourage you and everyone to get into LOTW. This particular station also has a stateside QSL manager who is quite prompt. 73, Mike, W5UC At 04:57 PM 4/11/2007, john wrote: I wonder if it includes one particularly active station on Galapagos, who has accepted several shipments of greenbacks over the years, but has not yet coughed up a card.

Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems
Thanks for the tip on the stateside manager. E-cards dont do it for me , so LOTW is not an option. 73 John K5MO At 06:27 PM 4/11/2007, you wrote: I have worked a very active station on Galapagos who uses LOTW, and he fires confirmation out in very short order.

RE: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems
John, I don't know who you're alluding to as the greenstamp collector. But I've worked HC8N many, many times over the years, and the manager (W5UE) has always been reasonably prompt with a QSL card. I know he had some difficulties due to flooding around the time of Katrina, but my understanding is that's no longer the case. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of john Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 6:57 PM To: Mike(W5UC) Kathy(K5MWH); dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems Thanks for the tip on the stateside manager.

RE: [DX-CHAT] N8S
Well Mike, look on the bright side... and remember, you can't make this stuff up... Friday evening my wife went into the hospital with appendicitis; all is well, and she came home late Sunday, but between one thing and another... Monday afternoon I came down with a bad stomach flu (oh yes, it's going around they all tell me) and was pretty much out until last night. Last night, no signals on the antenna. Went outside, discovered the new puppy dug up and chewed through the coax. Spliced in a replacement piece earlier today, discovered a bad PL-259. All this while the wife is yelling at me that she's the one recovering from surgery so I'd better not get sick again! I think I'll get the island next time around! 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike(W5UC) Kathy(K5MWH) Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 9:16 PM To: DX-CHAT@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] N8S From the N8S Online log: W5UC20 m C W5UC15 mC W5UC17 m C W5UC20 m R W5UC15 m S W5UC30 m C W5UC160 m C W5UC40 m C W5UC10 m S Where is 80 Meters?

[DX-CHAT] Some Thailand info /long
Here is some Thailand ham radio info for your reading pleasure Thailand gives recripricoal licenses to a limited number of other country's citizens, including USA, UK, and vy few others. Non-citizens can not take Thai exam and get Thai license. Visiting operators can use the HS0AC Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) club station after small fee to join RAST. The station mgr can help via RAST web site. Station has Mark 5, two towers with 15 beam and multi-band yagis and dipoles. Lots of space for installing temp. larger wires and verts. Access is 24/7. Getting ur own permits: Thailand requires eligible ops to get recrip. license upon presentation of passport and home country license. Foreign hams get prefix of HS0Z__ __ , no exceptions. With a Thai license, u can get an import permit for a radio, but the radio must be prior identified with serial number, and must not xmit on 6meters, nor bands above 2meters. A rig with 6meters (or 60meters) will not be approved--do not bring it. With an import permit, u can bring the stated radio into the country. Present copies of ur permit and ur license at the red customs line upon arrival. The rig will be taken for inspection--several days to several weeks wait-- and u have to go get it back when ready. Then, u take all paperwork and radio to the NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) office to have it approved for use--several hours to several weeks wait. When ready, go get ur rig which will now have papers and a small sticker on it with approval. Then, u can get a station license/permit for your chosen location (home). This will include a map to ur location and all previous paperwork provided. There are relatively small fees for each stage of this game. If u or your family member has clear title for the land, u can put up a tower(s) or get permit from the condo asn. After that, u can operate ur Region's allocations on all modes, but can not operate on 160m nor 80m except during unspecified ham radio contest days and even then on sliver bands near the bottom, llike 3.500-3.530 or so. Today, no WARC band xmission is permitted (with occasional exceptions granted to special event ops) and never 6m. nor bands above 2m. Power limit is 100 w for generals and 200w for above license grades. Do not ask. The RAST web site is the best info site for all this and more. Best prop. time to HS from beyond 1000 miles is 1200 to 1400 Z, Thailand mornings do not seem to like the grey line, but its evenings do like it. RAST national meetings are first Sunday of each month, lately at Sena Place Hotel in Bangkok, 11 am to about 2pm, bar hopping afterwards is optional. There is a very large Thai population licensed for 2meter only ops (and they often get further permit for mobile ops) and a few repeaters (several of which were recently installed via the insistance of the King, HS1A). The King has been known to call in on 2m. and many in the royal family hold ham calls. Very few Thai nationals operate HF and the foreign licensees on HF number less than 25 or so. The South East Asian net meets about 1200Z daily on 14.320 and there is a Thai language 40m net SSB about that same time. This net, SEANET, will hold its international convention in up country Thailand (Lampang) in November 2007. All hams are invited, of course. Entry visa (free) for most foreigners is routinely awarded upon arrival, good for 30 days and oddly renewable indefinitely by simply exiting the country anywhere and returning, even 5 minutes later. Longer term visas and retirement visas are possible. Foreigners work only via a permit. Interestingly, there is an airport exit tax of about $15 usd--free entry, tax upon exit (by air at least). Maybe this is more than u wanted to know. 73 Charles Harpole HS0ZCW [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Mortgage rates near historic lows.

RE: [DX-CHAT] QSL problems
re, HC8N. As I told John off line, W5UE does an excellent job. Additionally, NC8N also QSL's via LOTW, and is very prompt about it. Now Ron, about your/our antenna problems. There is something wrong here. We get older, our bodies get tired and start to slow down, but old man Murphy just blows right along. What's wrong with this picture? 73, Mike, W5UC At 09:51 PM 4/11/2007, Ron Notarius W3WN wrote: John, I don't know who you're alluding to as the greenstamp collector.
