[DX-CHAT] Needed band-countries
Hi folks,
Is there any information published anywhere for DXCC countries regarding what band/modes are needed to different places? Or is just the overall need for an all time new one all that is available?
Going to a not-so-rare country, the question arises- Operate on 20 where I can get lots of contacts but hardly anyone really needs it, or call cq till blue in the face on other bands where it is needed, but no one tunes? I hate to be asked a million times on twenty- when are you going to be on?, but then when you are there are no callers.
Just thought it would be nice to be able to tell where the actual need is.

Offhand, I don't know of anything... and it's something that may vary from
DX'er to DX'er anyway.
The closest thing that comes to mind is the DX Bulleting annual survey showing
the 100 most wanted, overall and by regions. But by bands too? I don't recall
if it shows that.
Perchance the best thing to do is to publish a tentative schedule, saying about
when you plan to be on which bands. Which of course won't satisfy DX'er X when
he tells you that band Y is open from you to him RIGHT NOW, so drop the pileup
and QSY to take care of his needs NOW.
Enjoy the trip anyway. And if I can get the antenna up at the new QTH in the
next few days, I'll work you anyway no matter where you are... I need FP under
the new call everywhere! g

(PS to all: yes, I know my old WN3VAW QSO's still count, or would if I ever get
around to submitting the cards; that was supposed to be a little levity!)

Title: Message
My
experience in operating from not-rare places is that the WARC bands and the low
bandsproduce the most general interest. On my visits to FJ and KP2 with an
ic-706 and a palm tree dipole, I was amazed at the pileups on 12m, 17m, 30m and
80m.
You
can also seek out the difficult paths, for examplefrom the Carribean to
the far east, or from Oceana to Europe. A propagation forecasting program
cansuggest the bands and times most likely to provide openings over such
paths, and you will find grateful DXers at the other end.
From a
mode perspective, I got much more attention when working CWor RTTY than
SSB.And the former two modes don't wake up the XYL...
