Thank You!

We’d like to thank Joel Rosenberg of Toronto for being so kind to send us paper copies of the 1971 and 1972 VUDs, plus a few other issues to make our collection as complete as it can possibly get (unless somebody has some 1968 issues stashed away somewhere). So, if you are a VUD collector, go get them in the VUD Archives.

Where’s The Es?

A great place to check to see if skip is nearby is the WTFDA logger called the ‘W-Logger’. If one of our posters notices it, word spreads and the first to know are those who watch the logger. You need to be a WTFDA member to use it.

Another place to check is the FM List Visual Logbook where users post their logs and the logs are plotted on a map of the Unied States. Very cool. You need to be registered there to use that feature.

DX maps has been around for years. It plots 50mhz amateur radio contacts on a map of the world.  Some say it’s not as reliable as it used to be, but it still can be used as a skip indicator. No registration is needed to watch the maps.

There are other sites similar to DX Maps that will plot 6m contacts on a map.  G7IZU and N3TUK  are two of them.

If you know of other sites, let us know. Happy hunting!
