Don't forget that while we can get our zone mults from VE, we all need
one W/K country
mult per band, and that may account for some of your zero pointers. In
CQWW phone, I
called one station for the W/K mult and was blown off, "DX only", so
yes, it is time for
one pointers from one's own country. How are we supposed to get a W/K
mult per band
otherwise? Do I have to talk my buddy across town, who's not a
contester, to get on and
give me a Q on 160 - 10?
