Dan you better get OUT of Ham Radio right away....you obviously have a
strong predisposition towards masochism.
Too bad you'll never get the rest of the world to run their stations and
work DX "your way". You STINK....

there) One would, however, think common sense would tell people even if
you do know which DX station is there, you're going to have to be able to
hear him to make a QSO!

Not really....let me explain how that works in today's computer world.

You call and call and call and hope he hears you. Then you check the
internet automatic log to see if your call shows up. In the meantime you
keep calling.

See?

Ah, so *that's* why Cumberland Electric had to increase utility rates --
to pay for the extra plants to power all those fruitless
transmissionsgrin!

Dan problem is more a matter of having a Chip the size of RMS titanic

this is likely to only get worse

Have I ever called on the DX's frequency?

Yes.

Have I ever missed my call?

Yes.

If you haven't made these, and other mistakes, you probably haven't
been DXing long.

Do I use spots?

Yes.

Back in the 80s the W7PHO net would hold your hand during a contact.
They even repeated your call and reports at times. Is this any better
than using a spot? Did I ever check into the PHO net.

Well,yes.

Win, w0lz

Good point...the whole idea is to get them in the log anyway you can. It
certainly makes no difference to the DXCC desk if you got the "new one" by a
dx net, chasing spots, your buddy telephoned you, or you used the old way of
tuning and listening, hoping, tuning listening, hoping..you get the idea!

This scenerio has been replayed for the last hundred years
Has nothing to do with extra heavies, extra lights, and newbies
Has to do with human nature - and that has changed little for the past 2000
years

OK, there hasn't been much posted here lately that's actually about DX, so
here goes...

Just worked 6O0N on 20 meters CW. The QSO would have happened much faster
if not for some of the stations listed below:

6O0N: KN5??
Callers: K7LB KC6AWX KA5TQF

6O0N: VE7??
Callers: W6VM AB9H KA5TQF

6O0N: KC6AWX 5NN
Callers: several, but NOT KC6AWX!

6O0N: W9WI 5NN
Caller: K7LB
(I *did* complete the QSO successfully)

6O0N: KA5TQF 5NN
Callers: VE7AHA VE2FVD AA6W (but NOT KA5TQF!)

6O0N: WB??
Caller: AA6W

There are, of course, some patterns here. You can also rest assured the
stations mentioned weren't the only lids calling DX they apparently can't
copy. (I was listening in 500Hz bandwidth on the second receiver so only
heard about 1/4 of the pileup at any given time)

Yes, when the 6O came back to KC6AWX, and later when he came back to
KA5TQF, they didn't hear him... they were calling a DX station they
couldn't hear... I suppose that's probably not a surprise to the real
DXers on this forum... At least to TQF's credit, he did copy the 6O on
the third try...

Add to that the European station who decided to call CQ dead on top of the
6O without bothering to ask whether the frequency was in use... (but much
to my pleasant surprise, nobody but the 6O told him to QSY...)

And all this time I thought you had some sense Charlie. Boy was I wrong. I
don't want folks to follow in lock step to my thoughts. It would be nice
tho, if they actually did HEAR the DX station.

You do understand sarcasm don't you? Or are YOU locked so tight up your
posterior you need a scuba mask to get air?
