I heard ZS1JX at his sunrise, and I heard and worked 4Z1UF at about the same
time, also his sunrise. 4Z1UF, Ilya, was BOOMING in on my inverted L, a
solid 589.
I looked back in my log, and saw that I worked 4Z1UF almost ONE YEAR ago at
his sunrise. The magic is still there!

Hi Brendan,
This all seems unethical.
To me these are bogus QSO's.
This is a radio hobby, not a professional business. If the radiocontact isn't
possible, so be it.
Better luck next time and perhaps even more motivation and fun then.

Surely this is

so this DX Station think he is doing 160 SSB? If I use this SDR of course I
will run Europe easily, also in SSB, but I know that this is not radio, is

So finally, will be good to know who is this DX station.

Of course it's wrong.
Why not take the radio all the way out of it, use Skype or CQ100,
and call it radio?
I'd be interested to know what the sponsors of the Top Band awards have
to say about it.

absolutely an ethical violation!
in a contest of course most rules forbid it.
perhaps that's a different game, with different rules like talking

What country are the people really working with their radio?
There is not a two way exchange of information with someone in a

A write up in CQ could be what's needed to foster more souther hemisphere
interest. By the way, that's what's missing in the Stew Perry contest; a
write up in a major magazine or at least a QST type formatted article
online. The present crude online list of scores causes me to skip most
Stew's.
Why not just use SKYPE? Could have a packaged service which includes band
noise, QRM, etc. Like Dr DX but via SKYPE. QST can do a full tech review. For
once it may be meaningful too.

Who among us is surprised? Almost all of the new technology tools (SDR,
chatroom, Spectran, etc.) while intriguing and fun to operate, can be used to
make QSO's that would not otherwise be made. I personally have no interest in
working DX that way. It removes some of the challenge that drew
