[Mldxcc] VP8SGI On 160, again 1.8226.5 up

[Ed Muns]

Look at my 80m SSB slot!  They show FOUR QSOs and I’m pretty sure I didn’t even call them that many times before getting through the one time I worked them.  I can’t explain the online logs, but I didn’t give them that many reports, let alone in that many different time slots.  I see other apparently duplicate QSOs for other callsigns too, so it is happening all over.

 

In any case, if I don’t think a 2-way QSO took place, then it is not in my log and I will keep trying until I’m satisfied a valid QSO occurs.  The DXpedition ops will just work us again.  They understand as well as we do that QSOs may not be valid on one side or the other for any number of reasons.  As you imply below, they may be taking an ultra-liberal approach to logging to insure valid QSOs are not left out.

 

Like I noted originally, we at least know we’re being heard down there.   ;>)

Ed, (W0YK)

 

You are in their log 3 times on 160cw.   

 

One wonders if QSO's are being recorded when the contact isn't verified on the air as two-way.

No I didn't get him :-(   I heard him clearly work N6ZFO.

Now you have a dilemma  . . . . . . 

   

The VP8SGI log says that you did work them!

 

But you did not have a 2-way communication [I can verify that because I heard the whole thing]   or did you??

 

Another contact will be a dupe from their perspective, and they could, I guess, ignore your call, thinking you are a DX'ing lid.

 

Good luck!

I heard him clearly work N6ZFO.  Just before that,
I had a burst of noise for about 5 minutes.
He may have called me during that, or else
the spotlight just didn't stay here long enough.
I was using 1500W to a vertical.  It's helpful
to get these reports.  Maybe tomorrow...

At 0332Z here in Kelseyville Lake Co I could just hear them .  an
occasional  partial callsign.
At 0530Z,  a  few dB stronger; I even called them just a couple times.

At 0648, sunrise, S-5 on peaks on the Eu Beverage.

Amazingly, I worked VP8SGI at 0652 with 150 w to my inverted L.
(Rick, he called N6RK three times. .  apparently w/ no answer. . hope
you got him!).

An amusing story:  Looking back in my log, found my QSO with VP8ORK on
160m  on Feb 3, 2011 at 0650. . 5 years ago to the minute!!!).

    My logging program shows South Georgia sunrise at just before 0700Z.
    Are you saying SR is actually around 0500Z, or that peaking is 2
    hours before SR?  In any event, I am hearing nothing here on 1826.5
    as of 0415Z.  They aren't very strong on 80 meters, although I can
    hear them.

        Just above ESP here, take a listen.  It bodes well for the peak
        time for
        us, in about an hour.  Lots of folks calling too.
