Jan. 30, 2018, 4:57 p.m. Jim, I'm just happy enough to make the board with some of my catches. I don't see anyone else in my area getting anything near what I get, and there are a couple other DXers here. So that makes me happy that I do well for my location. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 30, 2018, 4:56 p.m. 6 years since last 500+. Have a total of 6, 4 of which were coastal to NB/NS de amfmdxer PA FN20id

Jan. 30, 2018, 4:55 p.m. I figure that if I don't get any good tropo here, it's time to move on to other things. I still check here and there, but I don't compare my catches to other locations which are better. You don't have to give much effort in a good location to get good stuff, so what's the point? de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:59 p.m. Well, the FCC seems to think that we don't need CW anymore since there are so many other modes, and perhaps more efficient ways of communicating. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:45 p.m. An explanation was given, someone said, "Isn't morse code dead?" and Walter (the main character) said that some would like it to be :-) de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:43 p.m. In most recent episode of Scorpion (TV show on CBS) they used CW with lights. Someone asked what they were doing... de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:36 p.m. In my personal opinion, its not CW bias. Most elmers I know feel its a shame that CW is dying, especially for times of emergency, NOT for dxing purposes. de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:36 p.m. At this point, I'll learn whatever mode of communication that will expand my DXing logs. The FCC may not require a Morse code test, but if I can capture interesting logs, then I'll learn it. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:18 p.m. Autologging is very efficient, but that is irrelevant to some in this group. de mikeg IN EM69

Jan. 26, 2018, 6:17 p.m. If real TV DXing is having to see theTV screen for a quality log, then cw Is the mode for quality QSOs. In ham DXing de mikeg IN EM69

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:32 p.m. Wow, I’m surprised at the CW bias here. Doesn’t the FCC explanation make sense? CW is not the only efficient mode anymore. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:19 p.m. I don't understand the FCC stance on CW. When the tornado hit Joplin, phone was a mess. Am/Ops with CW were in control, other than law enforcement de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:17 p.m. [17:10] And when there is a disaster and all phone lines are DOWN, ham radio and CW comes to the rescue! de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:17 p.m. As a person who has an interest in receiving more distant DX, I WANT to learn CW as a way to increase possible logs. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:15 p.m. "The FCC has decided that is no longer a requirement because the FCC believes that the public interest is not served by requiring facility in Morse Code when the trend in amateur communications is to use voice and digital technologies for exchanging messages." de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:11 p.m. CW can be a fun mode, but CW only??!! There's lots of other good stuff out there too!! de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 5:10 p.m. Mike, I have been learning Morse code by listening to the beacons on LW and decoding them. It's slow enough that I can learn. I told my coworkers I was learning Morse code, and they laughed because everyone thinks it's outdated. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

He mentioned that before all that, 20 meters used to be very good. Last night when I was on the phone with him, he did a test on 20 and 40 meters to see if he was reaching me, and I could hear him decently. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, 1:18 p.m. I'm having fun being lazy experimenting with slow-scan TV on 14.23 MHz. I can let the computer software run all day and come back and see if it captured any images. Nearly all images have callsigns, so it's like autologging... no effort. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 26, 2018, noon When I started dxing AM radio in the early 1950s we had no aides. If we wanted to ID the station, we had to listen. One of my early catches was WAKR 1590KHz Akron but not hearing Ohio I thought it was Akron, NY a little town about 25 miles out. de Dave-N PA FN01qx

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:28 p.m. If you want quality ID's its going to take more TIME to add to your quantity de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:27 p.m. The time factor - if you're after quantity, you've got to move fast when the signals are there de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:26 p.m. We know what quantity means - rack em up and move on to the next one. I used to do that with FM Es, and got tired of it. de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:25 p.m. For FM dxers quality might mean getting a solid ID and not claiming a station they couldn't prove they had de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:24 p.m. For some DTV dxers quality means getting a reliable signal so they get a good picture or video, they stick with one station longer de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:11 p.m. Quality could mean long distance DX vs quantity of a lot of stations near by. de mikeg IN EM69

Jan. 25, 2018, 11:09 p.m. Not sure how quantity vs quality is an argument for DXing. For some, the main point of the hobby is getting logs. de mikeg IN EM69

Jan. 25, 2018, 10:56 p.m. With all this inactivity with TV DX, I've been dabbling in HF. I bought a new Icom transceiver, and I plan to take the general ham exam next week. SSTV on 14.23 MHz is really interesting here. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 25, 2018, 7:06 p.m. In the great circle of life the equation is Quality>Quantity>Time. My marketing classes told me you can never have all three at the same time. de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 7:05 p.m. Dxer "A" cares about quantity, while dxer "B" cares about quality. Time therefore is the sacrifice de Jim-T MO EM37

Jan. 25, 2018, 6:43 p.m. What good is a total DTV count if person “A” can log 500 DTVs with an autologger and have no interest in actually DXing (or even knowing how to), and person “B” can only receive half that with 5 times the effort? de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 25, 2018, 2:18 p.m. I don’t see much point in continuing to run mine. I don’t have much to see here. And the data loss is a bit frustrating. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 25, 2018, 2:17 p.m. Mike, I agree... I didn’t actually lose any logs. The logs are all written down and photographed (for the most part). I think autologgers HAVE in a way spoiled the hobby. People who live in better locations can rack up their logs, but without the autologger in some cases people wouldn’t even know how to DX. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
