HAMALERT --->
Created by Manuel Kasper (HB9DQM), HamAlert "is a system
that
allows you to get notifications
when a desired station appears on the
Reverse Beacon Network,
SOTAwatch or the DX cluster". You can receive alerts
via
Email, Push notification, SMS or URL GET/POST; spots can be filtered
and
the number of alerts can be limited.
Check:
https://hamalert.org/about for
complete information.

REALTIME Band Conditions:
http://www.bandconditions.com/
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to
provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition
information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their
scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs
to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based
on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite
based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF
Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very
similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.

(SA0MIW), Martin & TF8KY, Keli:
When
preparing for the expedition to S79V in 2016 me and Keli TF8KY
built an online log system.
We got a little
attention from other groups going on expeditions and decided to make
something out of it.
The result is the QSO
Director. Read more about it at this

Now, the fun RADIO part By 3Z9DX Dom
Grzyb
Rules
for DXing
or
How
to have more FUN on the Bands: The
DX MODE:
1. If you come upon a pileup, find the exact DX frequency and
slowly tune up your KW right on his frequency. Take your time doing
this
as it has maximum effect this way. The longer you take, the
better. It lets others know that YOU are going to call the DX.
2. If you cannot
wait to find out the DX call sign, ask, "What is the DX call
sign?" On CW send ?DX ?? Call?" Do NOT listen, this takes
time.
DO this repeatedly until someone gives you the DX call. This will
show all others on frequency that you are serious about wanting
to
work this DX. This is called sharing.
3.
When you find out the DX call, repeat your call over and over again
on the DX frequency. Even if he is working split there is a chance
he
may be listening on his transmit frequency.
4.
When the DX says "ABC only"- Don't believe him.
If he
says "Europe only" - Don't believe him. If he says, "2's
only" - Don't believe him. Keep giving your call "XYZ ?
!!.XYZ !! . XYZ !!
How Copy MARIO?" Make
sure you use his name when you call him, he
may think you are someone he knows. It must
work as we hear
it
on bands all the time so it has
to be effective. Don't
pay attention to directional
calls.
When did any DX know what they wanted ? What matters most
is what YOU want.
5.
To get the DX to work other modes tell him you want to set up a
schedule later which is convenient to you. You
should wait until the pileup has built
up
to several hundred and just before the band is about to go out,
then ask him to meet you
on CW, PSK31, RTTY or SSB at a set time and frequency.
Above
all, make sure you tell him that YOU
need him on these modes. This will endear you in
the hearts of all on frequency, it shows
that you can work
more
than one mode and are a well- rounded amateur.
6.
If you have worked the DX previously make sure you call him and tell
him that he is stronger than the last 6 times you worked him this
week.
The DX station will want to know
this. Others on frequency will respect you
more,
you will be recognized as
a Big Gun DXer.
7. When you find a DX pileup, to bring your
operating skills to a higher level and
impress all those on frequency -
Zero beat the DX send "QRL? Is this
frequency
in use?" This shows character and that you are truly a caring
person.
8.
When finally making the DX contact, give the DX some background
about yourself, TX, RX, ANT, WX, how many children
and grandchildren you have, where
they
went to college, what size bedroom slipper
you wear, or any other items of
interest to the DX. This
shows that you are not just a 59 kind of guy.
This is most
effective when the band is just about to fold.
9. After you
have worked the DX you will need the QSL
route. Although this will be listed on
theDX packet cluster, in ARRL & DX News Letters, and on the
Internet,
there is no reason for you to go to all the bother of reading
these sources. You can just keep calling on the DX
frequency."What is the QSL Information?"
If
you don't get a reply with the
information after 8 or 10 calls,
keep it up, your persistence will payoff . There
are plenty of other stations on frequency who are waiting
to
work the DX who have read these
publications and they willing and ready to help you.
Rules for
THE FUN MODE:
1. For a split operation, spend most of your day
listening and transmitting on the DX sending frequency.On CW, if
someone calls on the DX transmitting frequency, right
away
using your J-38 at 4 WPM, send VP.UG.NP .UP. until you get it right.
If the station continues to call on the DX frequency, then send LSD
LIB LED. LID until you
get it right. This has three benefits:
A.
Others waiting to work the DX will be forever indebted to you for
informing the offending station that the DX is working split.
B.
The offending station will be grateful.
C. You will get some
needed code practice to get you over that 5 WPM hump. 2. For those
with CW and voice memory keyers this will be easy. All
you have to do is program
in
" UP"and "LID". For the more advanced operators
you can add "SPLIT" "YOU IDIOT, WORKING SPLIT"
.Using the memory keyers for your day's activity will save
your
voice. Should you happen by chance to have a QSO you will need it. As
always.... Work 'em First and never confirm ! :)
PS.
If You can´t get a good signal report?!?
Just simply go
higher......see how it is done in other countries. :)
