You CAN work new DX with nothing. Here I am, at my Summer home, and I hear KH8SI (55) on my 17M sort-of-inverted-vee that went up yesterday, and I picked a quiet spot and... worked a new one on 100 w. The bands ARE open. It's just that no one is on them. N2ERN -- No trees were harmed in the

[DX-CHAT] how much is expected these days?

I'm getting my cards ready to send out for Swain's and Montenegro. I have about 4 or 5 Q's for each. In the old days a buck or two was fine. What's the going rate now, especially since Swains was probably a much more difficult and expensive trip? 5 for Swains? 3 for Mentenegro? More? Less?

RE: [DX-CHAT] BS7H INTO NE USA

I saw that Boston callout. No way, Jose. My station -- not too puny --had ZERO copy when that Boston call came out. Pure BS IMO. The best I heard 'em was 52. Our Italian friends played cops on 20 meters. Someone even yelled at ME (when I was working split at 14201) yelling directly at ME!

[DX-CHAT] mea culpa, I guess

I have been duly told off. I think that a split listening area from 200 - 225 is way too big. I think that FEWER ops were calling on the TX frequency (for a change) but the cops (wherever they came from) made things much worse (as usual). I agree that worldwide internet packet HAS made

[DX-CHAT] Re: BS7H INTO NE USA

Well, they were perfectly readable on 20 SSB earlier this morning (S 2-3). I had a shot when they called for NA and cut the spread down to 200 - 210, but didn't get through. Now (1345) I can barely hear them. I still have hope. Those last 2 are a b*tch. I have my 1994 BS7H card hanging on

[DX-CHAT] tuning or memories?

The BS7H spots on 20 fone seem to indicate that this morning's op was just punching memory freqs and doing little tuning. Of course, that's his option. Give or take a couple of Hz, 200, 210, 220 and 227 seemed to gather almost all of the spots, as did three more freqs well outside the
