Jim: As I read the notice they said ATNO meant you had not worked "this
dxpedition". I agree with your definition but that is not what they said.
I have the island confirmed from way back in the early 70's I think it was. Therefore I kept out of the pile ups on all bands (my normal procedure) in order to give those who "need it" an opportunity. To me 9 bands each on three or more modes is one of the banes of current dxcc. The first time ever is a thrill, beyond that its like making a cell phone call. Flame suit on. 73 bob de w9ge BS. All Time New One means that the contact gives, or would give you, your first confirmed contact with that COUNTRY. Period. This is a country that has not been activated for several decades, and will likely not be activated for decades to come. What the DXpedition leaders have said is, don't call us now if you already have Navassa confirmed, or if the log search says you in our log, because we want to spend the rest of our time passing out DXCC credits to those who need it for THE COUNTRY. Not a new band, not a new mode, a new COUNTRY. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband--- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband |
