[CQ-Contest] Spotting and YN4FD

[Jose Valdes]

Bob,

As a DX station I operate from Venezuela, therefore I don't work none W/VE
stations in the ARRL contest, but  along with ON4UN and PJ2T, my station was
one of the most active/spotted stations on 80 meters, and often during the
contest, and wile operating simplex, I used the second receiver of my MK-V
to see what the competition was doing and to compare propagation, and in the
close to 19 hours that I spent in the band I never heard YN4FD, the only
active Central American stations heard at this end were V31H, TI1CH and
TG9NX, the latest one was in the band only an hour or so the second night.

It is odd that a DX station active in the ARRL SSB with that amount of QSO
was not spotted a single time, "something is rotten in Denmark".

He's not in the K3LR multi-multi log either.

Who did work this guy?  Anyone?

Rick,

I have to tell you that I am "amazed" that a YN could work 3100 Qs in ARRL
DX and I never heard a peep of him.  As SO2R and "combing the bands" with my
south facing 10M and 15M beams while CQing on 20M, I am disappointed that I
would not find a station in Central America who was that active in the
contest.  I heard TI8M on almost EVERY pass on 15 and 20.

Asia, wouldn't surprise me, but Central America with more than 1000 Qs in
ARRL DX....very surprising...

Am I alone in missing this guy??
