pse change TJ3TT to TJ2TT = they must use number 2 (by authorities) 73 Chris DL5NAM

Great activity, one of the best of this year for sure ! Speaking about ft 8, all good, all beautifull, but I see (in your log but also in other log of actually dxped) the same qso of old dirty rtty (one of the less efficent mode…), often more on tty, not a great benefit at the end 😉

Thanks for contact Send 59 7.017 MHz 15 March 2018 01:38 UTC

Thank you guys, XR0 was an ATNO for me. (100W in a low OCFD on 30m) 73 Gust ON6KE ON7QRP

Tough location for operating, regardless of band. EXTREMELY high noise floor in Macau and not much room for antennas. Wish you well. 73 John KE7B

Never been understand those Non Stop callers. Always I am just listening on second VFO, what’s going on and how that pile-up is moving. Then you able to save your time a lot, and not destroy other QSO’s possible. On Top Band I am never give my report before, when have a 99,9 percent sure they got my call sign correct in up and down QSB. On that way, you not need to doubt so much. 73, Hannu OH1XX

What’s going on here? This station was running split on 30m from approx 0600utc to 0720utc 12 Mar 18. 10.112MHz. He was sending the wrong callsign ZB0A, definitely NOT Z60A for at least an hour in a split pileup (up1). I assume he’s incorrectly programmed a computer or memory keyer. I recorded this and slowed it down to check with other hams that the call being sent was ZB0A. The whole world was working him and spotting him as Z60A on the Cluster. ALL those qso’s are invalid for DXCC!! You can’t use a Gibraltar callsign in Kosovo. If you worked him at those times…..GET A REPLACEMENT QSO or cry later….

Shame ! In the morning in FT8 in 80 meters !!!

Propagation is so bad here in Northern British Columbia that I cannot copy 90% of the DXpeditions featured here on DX World.

Suggest to come on 17 and 15m per Eu, band are open, low noise high rate.
