Subject: [CTDXCC] New DX Term: Greenie

I used to associate the term 'Greenie' with Golf but today I learned it has
a new DX meaning associated with the K7C DXA near real time DX log.

Happiness is getting greenie! If you make the K7C log, you get a
semi-instant instant green square in the confirmed log box on the lower left
side of the web page. In addition, your call shows up on the map and in the
recent worked listings. The page self-refreshes every few minutes.

I learned the term the hard way as some of the early 'good' QSO's were not
showing up on the web page.  Terry, AB5K, and I both made good RTTY QSO's on
15 meters on 9/28 and neither of our calls showed up as a greenie.  They
were having some web page issues early in the operation.  I think the issues
have been resolved and the DXA seems to be working better now.  I had to
work K7C a 2nd time to earn the 15 meter RTTY greenie for a new one.

Anybody picked up a six meter greenie?
