Well, it's off to the racesgrin...
VU4AN/VU3DYC (I've probably screwed that up, it's written down in the other room) pretty loud on 20cw this morning. Too much of a madhouse to work though. Will keep trying. Good luck to all! -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

Unlike the operation in December 2004, some of the new batch are able to be
heard in the upper Midwest. So far, as least four or five of the stations act as if they understand the propagation facts of the difficult path from VU4 to NA - if not the additional problems for paths in the shadow of the magnetic pole. Plus and minus of 1600Z and a short window near 2400Z (both on 14 MHz) are about 80% of the possibilities from Michigan. 73, Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A.

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. Unless they start begging somewhere, I shall be happy with my QSO and let others, who really need them for a new one have a go now. Will keep trying. Good luck to all! Good luck to everyone in need ;-) 73, -- Fabian Kurz, DJ1YFK * Dresden, Germany * http://fkurz.net/ Online Log: http://dl0tud.tu-dresden.de/~dj1yfk/log.html |

I worked them on 20 RTTY at 2050Z. It was surprisingly easy, probably
because they were so weak, just barely moving the S-meter, and not many NA hearing or calling them at the time. That's one of my last 4 on RTTY! (BS7, VU7, and 7O are the others). Barry W2UP -- Note - Remove the X from my e-mail address for direct replies |

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 |

I was just about certain I remembered it wronggrin! Either way, I'm afraid it's *not* in my log -- I called for about an hour but they faded out before I could work them. Will definitely be paying more attention for the rest of the week though. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

Yep, I've never been in the "physically impossible" category,
fortunately. All my college dorm rooms had a tree in good proximity to do the invisible random wire thing. Plus when I was in college, 10m was hot, so my 30' long wire 15 feet off the ground actually did something... My apartment now is nice in that I have a balcony which gives me more options as far as where I can mount temporary antennas and better shots at the trees with a slingshot so I've got 100 feet of wire in the air... As far as the rules... I just try to be courteous to the neighbors by keeping the power down and try to be relatively stealthy, but I'll tell you, I'm sure the maintainance guys have seen my temporary mast and VHF antennas occasionally in the mornings, and no one has ever said anything. Of course, 45 minutes later when I go to work, there's no trace of them... If you're stuck inside steel frame dorm building... you're right, not much to be done there... Club station it is in that case... 73 Doug Dan, N3OX www.n3ox.net |

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 |
