Re: [DX-CHAT] Real prefix for N8S query
Red, Not to be picky but it's Swains Island. Your right that Swan Island was deleted back in 1972. It now counts for Honduras (HR).

[DX-CHAT] n8s logs
Well...there does not seem to me any way I can access the N8S logs. The site with the drop-down list of dx-calls has removed n8s from the list it appears and their web page site has not been accessible for a few days recently. Anybody else have any luck? 73/dx steve, k8wk Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

This takes you to http://logsearch.de/ index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=175Itemid=106. Much of the time I get an unavailable response, but I was able to verify both of my contacts earlier today after several retries. 73 - Bob, N7XY Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
RE: [DX-CHAT] n8s logs
There was a note on DL5NAM's site (if I recall correctly) last night to the effect that the N8S log had been taken out of the main list due to the demand, but there was a separate radio button on the left to bring that up. And it worked, I saw that my friends W3WH KQ3DX both made multiple Q's with the Swain's guys. Anyone know offhand when the next update (if any at this point) is planned? KQ3DX was kind enough to loan me his shack for 2 hours today, and I FINALLY GOT THEM on 20 17 SSB... and I THINK I got them on 20 CW too, but some lid started calling CQ DX with a chirpy signal and no ID right on top of them, so I never heard the confirmation. 73, ron w3wn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Litwins Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DX-CHAT] n8s logs Well...there does not seem to me any way I can access the N8S logs.
