I can see how many band slots my DXing pals have, and I will then work them on RTTY on every band if possible to "win." I have gone "Leaderboard Crazy" and worked operations 21-22 times (all unique band/slots, but I really don't need CW/SSB/RTTY) on 5-6 bands . . . (2) Who I work is between me and the DX (unless I choose to tell others.) With online logs, anyone can put in any call and find out how you are doing. Probably not a big issue, but you can find out I only worked 4W6A twice, and with some DXpeditions where I cleaned up from 160-10. In spite of those two points, knowing your QSO was good does outweigh the negatives. I really like on-line logs. A few times in situations like you described, I found out they didn't have me logged correctly. I re-worked them, and it meant I wouldn't have to wait 10-15 years for it to be re-activated again. It's a new technology/capability that makes DXing better, at least in my view. 73, Paul VE1DX --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 4W6A Logs
Yes, I have also seen this. My 30 meter QSO seems to come & go. I'm sure all is safe. 73, Garth, KW4MM - Original Message - From: "Crownhaven" To: "DX Chat" Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 5:33 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] 4W6A Logs I'm noticing that QSOs that show up on their log on one day are gone the next.

Re: [DX-CHAT] 4W6A Logs
I understand that they're having some significant problems uploading to the Internet, but that ALL logs are intact with them. Patience... I'm sure that everything will be uploaded correctly & in due course! 73On 09/23/11, Crownhaven wrote:I'm noticing that QSOs that show up on their log on one day are gone the next.
