I hope there were some around. I was at Dayton the year after the VP8SSI
operation and one of the ops had a couple huge ba
The DX cops and jammers may be getting worse as time goes on, but I've
noticed that they at least lessen when the DX ops are good. There are
probably some DX chasers "on the edge" who go over that edge in
frustration when the DX ops are poor.
The DX jammers/cops aren't the result of any partic

I have worked neither and will go for either one! Hopefully whatever
operation takes place has a signal to this area when they do.
The recent KP5 was an all-time new one for me. I think we all hope it
counts!

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything at all from the ops by now. Has
ANYONE been in touch sith them? Or are they in jail somewhere?

The DOS versions of CT would probably be OK, too. I haven't tried to run
them from a memory module, though. I've copied any executables to the
hard drive of the host computer and run them from there.
The memory modules are great for transferring files though. I've backed
up and transferred A
Yes - if there's a computer where you're going that has something close to
current standards (most of the memory sticks I've used lately use USB 2.0)
it's a great idea. You can carry them in your pocket and I don't think
they are affected by airport X-ray machines.

I worked 9G5TF on 30 CW this evening. I'm not sure who the op is but he's
an excellent CW op. AND he said something I don't hear too often - he
went to QSY to 160 meters and said "Thanks for the great pileup, guys". I
could tell he was enjoying it!

MAL was not the originator of the story. It came from my buddy Sean KX9X.
I thought I worked them on 40 CW after they came back to "W9?" but then
I heard them call W0IZ. I sent my call and report again on the
possibility they were hearing me and just heard a "TU". So I don't know
if I actually worked them or not. But neither my call nor W0IZ show up
in the on-line
One of my pet peeves is DX operations that don't observe propagation. I
called K7C a bit this morning on 40 CW at 1300Z and they were working
mostly JA's. At that time they only had a short amount of time left for
propagation to USA and another several hours to JA. Best utilization of
