You bring up an interesting point: Do ham DXpeditions QSL for SWL reports? Not sure why they would need "some sort of rudimentary broadcast for SWL's". The usual procedure for an SWL request to a ham is to give the time, frequency and station he was in contact with. Been that way for decades.

Too bad 'they' don't count regular ham operations as a "broadcast" -- as the hams ARE broadcasting. Better to get something than to get nothing, as it is *extremely* unlikely that there will ever be a "broadcast" station on Amsterdam. What difference does it make if the hams make a "fake" SWL broadcast? Same station, same ops. Plus Hauser seems to have overlooked the fact that it is *illegal* for hams to make "broadcast" type of broadcasts. You are mistaken. As usual. Just like *you* were mistaken about "Heard Island" and VK0JJJ? You'd have to blame the spotter on the website where I saw it. As usual, another short / selective memory, huh? Stuff something up it, clown 'tard. |
