Re: [DX-CHAT] Spotting Etiquette
I hate it when you get 6 sequential spots saying something like P5AAA tnks QSO 9 bands It contains no usefult information to the reader apart from My dog's bigger than your dog!

Re: [DX-CHAT] Spotting Etiquette
KL7A in Bhutan WAS looking at the cluster. I saw several spots he self-posted as from KL7A spotting A5A. What you said is not always the case. KL7A is listed on the A5A web page as one of the operators there. - Original Message - From: Barry w...@comcast.net To: telw...@telusplanet.net Cc: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2012 8:01 PM Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] Spotting Etiquette Bingo!

[DX-CHAT] Spotting etiquitte
KL7A in Bhutan spotted himself several times. I saw him spot himself on 10 mHz asking if there were any NA. He also spotted a pirate using A5A callsign on 40 M and he commented, We are still in daylight here. I don't buy even one of your arguments, because I am going to operate my station the way I want , and it is none of your business the way I operate. I expect you to do the same. Been operating my station this way for 54 years and I have come to respect you as to your way of operating. I owned and operated the cluster when it was still on packet from Augusta, GA 20+ years ago, and anyone who didn;t like someone's way of operating could just find another way of connecting.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Spotting etiquitte
Jim, Correct callsign is KL2A. Information sent by KL2A were of interest of many DX operators. Information that I am not hearing DX or station I just worked is my country #350 is not of interest for anyone and should not be transmitted over GLOBAL DX Cluster network. 73's Boris E73Y -Original Message- From: kf...@njdxa.org on behalf of JIM Abercrombie Sent: pet 8.6.2012 13:51 To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Spotting etiquitte KL7A in Bhutan spotted himself several times.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Spotting Etiquette
Actually, it was Jon Kimball KL2A. He even posted a spot for a 30m CW operation of A5A saying it was a Pirate, not us. Interesting to have one of the DXpedition ops on the cluster! 73, Zack W9SZ On 6/8/12, JIM Abercrombie 4...@prtcnet.com wrote: KL7A in Bhutan WAS looking at the cluster.

[DX-CHAT] A New Award for DXpeditions
The Cass Award encourages DXpeditions to maximize the number of DXers they work by annually presenting a $1000 prize to the single-operator DXpedition that works the most unique callsigns within a 4-week interval. This award is named in honor of Cass WA6AUD (SK), whose stories in the West Coast DX Bulletin taught a generation of DXers that DX IS! The winner of the 2012 Cass Award will be announced in March 2013. An unlimited award category with a larger prize is under development for introduction in 2013.
