2002 DX Specials
N3DQU@...
The new DX Specials for the year 2002 are now posted up on the 070
endorsements webpage. A reminder too that the 2001 DX Specials are winding down so get out there and get them DL's and BV's in the log! Due to an apparent shortage of PSK ops in Taiwan, I've decided to award the BV SP to whomever has the most Taiwanese stations in the log...73 de Jay N3DQU.

This evening, I heard N3EQK, Ron, check into the 3905 Century Club Psk net from his Delaware QTH. He was plenty workable from California, but did not return calls later in the rotation. Might be worth contacting him via e-mail and arranging a sked. 73 de Bill KG6EXF

Hi Gang,
Tnx for all the replys and E-Mails. I just wanted to let you know that I received a nice E-Mail from Clarence KH7P in Hawaii who says he's often on PSK-31 and on 20MTRS around 23:00. He's offered to try and hook up with me next week. SO, anyone who wants to join in is more than welcome. Also, tnx for all the info on the Delaware stations too. I'm probably too close, but you never know. I waited a long time for VT, & MA then all of a sudden they were both there. 73 gang and Happy Holidays, CU on 20mtrs with HAwaii. Regards, Lenny K2LAM

Merry Xmas & Happy 2002
John van Eijndt KC0DEB
Hello everyone,
I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Dxfull 2002! I'll be off the air for awhile (Involuntarily) during our vacation to the "Old Country", to spend the Holidays with the family in Holland. ( The rig I was planning to bring went haywire....) I will be visiting an old HAM friend of mine, and maybe we can sneak off to the shack to make some Q's on PSK31...hihi I'll keep you posted hr on the forum, if/when we can pull that one off.. Enjoy the Holidays, and I will see you all again in January! 73 de John KC0DEB _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

I have seen (but unfortunately not worked) the following DE stations on 20m PSK: K3FSP KE3ZZ N3HND W3IJ I have also seen the "wrong" side of a QSO with KS3E KW3Z I emailed directly to Lenny, but I too would be interested in both DE and HI contacts on 20m PSK. And if we can't find anyone already IN Delaware, I've considered a mini-DXpedition there to give all you folks some QSOs. The DE border is about 50 miles away from home here, so it wouldn't be too bad. I'd rather wait until the weather is a little warmer, though, as I might have to set up in the outdoors. I could take a laptop and the PSK-20 pretty easily, and maybe string up a dipole. As for Montana, Erika, you might try N7LT. Lyndel is a friend who would be willing to run a sked. AE7RN is a new-to-PSK op (I was his first QSO a few weeks ago). KC7YGI and KD7FVR have also been seen, though many months ago. 73, Steve W3HF

Hi Jay,
Be my pleasure to hook you up with any Delaware stations that come my way. Your not the only station that has wrote me asking for the same thing. I've been on PSK for over two years now and have never seen a Delaware or Hawaii station on the water fall here on the East coast. Have a great holiday and I'll drop you a line if I get any takers. Regards, Lenny K2LAM

Lenny,
If you find any Delaware stations on PSK, how about letting me in on it. I've been looking for one of them all year. Even when I was in Baltimore, I never heard one. 73 and Merry Christmas to All, Jay - AA8QQ

Re: BV SP
Steve W3HF
As far as I know and according toJay - Actually, the ARRL DXCC list is not the best list for ALL prefixes. Its purpose is simply to define the entities. For example, you won't find the EM prefix (used by Ukraine, primarily for Antarctica), the ZX prefix (Brazil, mostly special event I think), the 3E (Panama), CQ (Portugal), TM (France), 7J-7N (Japan), and probably many others.You won't even find the very common VA for Canada. Under the ARRL list, only BY and BT are listed for "China" (PRC), and we all know that there are other prefixes. (BA and BD come to mind.) A more complete list of prefixes is found in the ARRL Operating Manual. But my copy (vintage 1996) simply says "China" for BAA-BZZ. So other sources must be used to segregate the two political entities. Based on the contributions of all the 070ers on this list, Steve N6YIH/7 compiled the following list of 12 Taiwanese stations that someone has either worked or heard: BN0W BQ9P BV1YA BV4DC BV4QI BV4VE BV8BC BX4AAC BX4AG BX5AA BW0N BW0TCC As you can see, only 5 of the 12 have a BV prefix. But I think we have documented that BX, BW, BN, and BQ are all Taiwanese stations. They are listed under the HamCall server as Taiwan, in addition to identifying themselves that way. NG3K's DXCC page lists alternate prefixes for many countries. Under "BV Taiwan" he also lists "BM-BQ, BU, BW, BX" which is consistent with the above. (See http://cpcug.org/user/wfeidt/Dxcc/dxccas.html) I think it's pretty clear that BV is just an abbreviation for Taiwan in general, and not intended to be the only prefix, just like we might say DL to mean Germany (when all of DA-DR would count) or ON for Belgium (when they actually include ON-OT). Just my humble contribution. 73, Steve W3HF
