dxAce,
I can see your point about working them as opposed to just receving them. However, it's another spot on the earth that's rare when it comes to radio transmissions. Places like Desecheo, Peter 1st Island, Heard Island, Baker & Howland Island serve no purpose to place a radio transmitters, shortwave, mediumwave, or whatever, basically because these locations are not inhabited. That's why the hams activate these locations because they count as a DXCC entity. There have also been a few instances where a SWL submitted a list of calls he heard being worked by the DX station and that list clarified and confirmed that one of the stations he heard was indeed worked. The DX station had miscopied the call. Chaulk one up for the SWL helping out! ![]() Vegas Night Owl "dxAce" wrote in message ...

Now, if I had a transmitter, and actually worked them I'd be interested. Still, nice to have heard them, and as Glenn Hauser has suggested, it might be interesting to have these DXpeditions get the necessary clearance to put up a low power SWBC outlet at these sites and put new SWBC countries on the air. dxAce Michigan USA And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute. They've hired at least one individual who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows, there may be more. |
