Re: [DX-CHAT] Monkeys
In Thailand, I can hr about what BS7H hears. and the pile ups are as bad as said However, a new wrinkle showed up the first nite (local time hr) they got on 20m CW (I do not know about later). Someone in this part of the world had nearly zerobeat them and nearly matched their CW speed and were working the pile up just like they were the target DX the most clever and devilish fake I have ever hrd Almost exact copying but sounded like a squeeze key whereas BS7 sounded like machine colde. who knows... 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Download Messenger.

[DX-CHAT] Monkeys
DXing 101: If the DX is transmitting- Don't transmit! If the DX answers a call, and its not yours- Don't transmit! If the DX answers a call, and you don't think it was yours- Don't transmit! If the DX is in contact with another station, and that station is transmitting- Don't transmit! If you've called the DX, but the pileup is continuing on, and you don't know if he has answered someone- Don't transmit! He most likely came back to a call, but the pileup buried the contact. If you can't hear the DX station well enough to know if it is you he called- Don't transmit! If you have called on the same split frequency for more than 10 minutes, face the fact he either is not listening there or can't hear you there. Use your split function to listen for the station the DX is working and call where he is listening, or where you think he will listen next. If you've worked the DX station, go celebrate, or find him on another band. Don't listen to the DX frequency and yell UP! UP! everytime someone accidently transmits there. Don't respond to the Europeans or other wannabe DX stations calling cq near the DX frequency. They are just trying to see if they can get a rise out of you, and your transmissions will likely do as much if not more to disrupt the DX frequency. Do not give a signal report with your call unless the DX has responded to your call. Doing so will not make the DX hear you better or convince him to work you. There are probably a lot more you can think of. Of course, those signed up for this list know these things. The question is- how to educate all those who don't? 73, Duane, WV2B The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.- Ralph Waldo Emerson Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
