In contests several stations send a DXSPOT reporting themselves, telling that
they are QRV on certain decimals (mainly OZ-stations??), this is bad, but
I agree on sending a report on a "perhaps not too interesting DX" when condx
are not good and - as living far away from everybody else - you need to
persuade somebody to turn the antenna in your direction - or you must go QRT
without any QSO's - at all!
Some good dx-spots, as quoted:
DX de HB9DFG: 144040.0 DL0FTG JO53ab-JN37sm 59A QTF 20ø 1619Z
DX de HB9DFG: 144910.0 DL0PR/BCN JO44jh-JN37sm 559 norm 419 2225Z
DX de HB9DFG: 144290.0 EA6XXX JM19-JN37 FAI QTF 60ø EL 10ø 1730Z
Yes, you have made a good point about how to concentrate much as possible
information in the little space available!
Is it possible to filter out 144,5-146MHz, 433-440MHz?
I have seen few comments on my own bulletin. I hardly agree, so we may
perhaps soon see QSO-numbers for contest-reports via dxclusters?
A report for a meteorscatter QSO is based on the reflections you hear in
the first or second period, and reflections are very often different in later
periods, so the report may be of very little value - except for the station
who needs this for a complete QSO. Since I have the experience that many
stations did not receive my report, but still they claim that the QSO is
complete! It is of course a possibility to look at the dxcluster to see
whether the opposite station really did receive my report, if not, I do not
need to send him a QSL card for a QSO which he believes is valid, or...?
I remember that it was a German practice to transmit ONLY one callsign at
the time in a CWMS QSO, if this practice still exists, they QSO's will never
be VALID according to the IARU Region 1 rules....
