This weekend I listened a while to the EU mess around K5D. Specially on 40m there was a lot of confusion because K5D listened down on CW, resulting in a lot of frustations to innocent PACC participan
To be fair to K5D, my impression was that, this weekend, they did a lot less 40m CW than they might otherwise have done. I presumed this was a recognition by them of the potential problem you describ
Also, the reason why they had to listen down was another Contest... WPX RTTY I would not worry too much about ARRL CW. At the rate they are going, most DXers will have worked them by next weekend and
Maybe K5D can "create" an opening on 10 this weekend?! All in favor, say "yea" ;o) 73, Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group TnQP http://www.tnqp.org/ Elecraft K2/100 #4455 Elecraft K3/100 #366
Maybe during the 48 hours of the ARRL DX Contest, CW, the Desecheo K5D operators will limit themselves to the non-contest bands ... i.e., 30, 17, and 12 meters. And to phone operating. That would be
It'd be even nicer to have them participate in the contest. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contestin

That would be nice! To bad there weren't to many good 10 meter openings during the CQ WW CW this year. 73, Cal, K0DXC -- This message is from a Virgin Mobile customer. Enjoy. Maybe K5D can "create" a
I agree with that... It was fun to have some of the past major DXpeditions show up in the current contest. For some, it was the only way they worked them! 73, Julius Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Con
I agree. Why would we not want another mult in the contest and a bunch of very good ops on top of it! The K5D pileups have been minimal. There are not listening up 2 to 20 on CW. Down or up a few and
I'd have to check the rules, but I think they'd count as "KP4" for mult and points. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Never mind! Only contiguous states and provinces are mults for DX. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.con

I know, but one can dream ;o) May just sit on 160, nice and relaxed. Will check 10 for any inkling of an opening, but the numbers aren't encouraging. Hope everyone has fun! Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennes
It's a catch 22. Although the prefix "KP5" is reserved for Desecheo, no KP5xx callsign will ever be issued. You can only get a KP5xx callsign if you have mailing address on Desecheo. There are no ma
According to the K5D web site, Desecheo is: The 6th most-needed DXCC entity world-wide. The 3rd most-needed DXCC entity in Europe. The 2nd most-needed DXCC entity in Asia. This is probably from The D
Well, you do realize of course, it won't take many contest QSO's for the K5D team to "win" their DXCC entity. Maybe during the 48 hours of the ARRL DX Contest, CW, the Desecheo K5D operators will lim
I don't know what was more fun... working the 5A gang before the contest, or working them during the contest, a couple of years back! Somehow I don't think this is going to be a biggie to worry about
Yes, that's right. I remember that. I think that was before 1X1 calls became used (1993). I might be wrong. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Co
