I bet a high percentage of "DXers" who just copied the call from DX-cluster (amazing number of busted calls there!) will get their QSL back, "not in log". pretty loud on 20cw this morning. Too much of a madhouse to work though. Worked the DL7DF-group on 17m CW today (all time new one) during a short break at university (hooray for campus clubstation!), quite easy from Europe. You're going to count this as your own? |

It was made using my own callsigns, which is perfectly legal here. I know there have been some debates about the validity or 'ethicality' of this kind of contacts, but I personally feel it's absolutely OK. It also conforms to DXCC rules, which say: ,----[ Section I.

It also conforms to DXCC rules, which say: This was frequently done at the University of Wisconsin back in the 1970s as well. Most of these operators didn't have their own stations - or those stations consisted solely of 2m gear - so if you didn't work the DX from the club station, you weren't going to work it at all. We did consider it bad form to work a DXpedition with your own call if the club still needed it on that band/mode. (i.e., you worked it with the club call first) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

Your rules appear to be different but in the US the call sign is assigned to the "station", not the individual and the station call is what should be used. A few years ago I operated W1AW but I sure wouldn't claim those QSOs as my own for DXCC purposes since I identified as W1AW, not N7WS. |

It was made using my own callsign, which is perfectly legal ^^^^^^^^^^^^ You left this part out: "Contacts made from club stations using a club callsign may not be used for credit to an individual's DXCC." Again: I made the QSO using my own personal callsign (DJ1YFK), not with the clubstation callsign. Your rules appear to be different but in the US the call sign is assigned to the "station", not the individual and the station call is what should be used. Yes. In DL the callsign is assigned to an individual, no matter from where it's used. A few years ago I operated W1AW but I sure wouldn't claim those QSOs as my own for DXCC purposes since I identified as W1AW, not N7WS. Same here with my numerous recent activities where I was actually using a club-call (like DM1A WAE CW, DP4T CQWW CW, DP4K RUDX, all M/S). That would have added a *lot* of new bandpoints, if it was credited to my own callsign. 73, -- Fabian Kurz, DJ1YFK * Dresden, Germany * http://fkurz.net/ Online Log: http://dl0tud.tu-dresden.de/~dj1yfk/log.html |

Still the club can "loan" the station to an individual and that individual can operate using their own call sign. It's basically a matter of club policy whether or not you may use your own call sign on the club station. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
