Pay attention folks.

At the bottom right on the last minute and last hour columns is a remarks
box. In it they have stated time and again that this page IS NOT the log
for the operation. If you made the contact you are in the log. Don't panic
if you don't get a "greenie".

Heard a contact last night and the K7C operator confirmed that the contact
was "number 7" for the operator, all were in the log, he had not a single
"greenie" showing as of yet.

As per their remark section, all QSL's will be from the log, not the web
site and "greenies".

Have a solid contact on 20 SSB from a couple of days ago, no "greenie", my
80 SSB contact this morning shows up, go figure.

Hmmm ... all six of my contacts show as green.
Each showed up fairly quickly post QSO.
I'd be a bit concerned about that 20 SSB QSO if I were you ;-)

One of my "greenies" moved! Had a greenie for both CW and SSB on 18 MHz.
The SSB greenie moved to 14 MHz.
I sure hope that the logs are right as the DXA presentation does not
instill confidence. A great idea. Needs more refining. The uncertainty
leads to more insurance contacts than would otherwise be the case.

A big at-a-boy for trying. It will be all smiles if all of the logged
greenies show up before they leave.


An additional observation: their 7 MHz SSB signal this morning became
much stronger when they switched from NA to JA. I speculate that they
mixed-up the antenna directions.

Currently the site says: "30 Sep 2005 1342Z DXA is running unattended.
It is possible that a server interruption will cause drop-out of some
data. You will know this if the display remains unchanged for more
than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do but wait--the
operator is asleep! The system will be updated at about 2000Z. Thanks
to everyone for being patient while we work out the problems. The
entire DXA system has been stable and working for about 36 hours.
Don't forget: DXA IS NOT THE LOG! QSLing will be done using only the
Official K7C log. DXA is only a transient display of the current state
of the K7C DXpedition."

So if your greenies are screwed up it's cuz the op is asleep. :-)

Too bad that this morning at my sunrise their 160 op decided to start
working JAs.

Nope, not concerned, I know it was a good contact, don't need a "greenie".
As it turned out it showed up 6 days after the contact, once again - go
figure.
