On the subject of pile-up handling by DX-stations, it is true it takes a lot of experience and self discipline to do it smoothly. I have only handled a few minor pile-up with SP and DL on 6 m SSB, so

de Jungle Telegraph From all the correspondance and critique of DX operations, it appears to me, that an Amateur Radio license Test, should include actual operating on the air. It is all very well to

TI9M is on 14.085 RTTY...N3DQU

have to put Hear that, thats the best way to ruin your pile is to ignore your own rules. Gads Im missing the two biggest countries on PSK cause I cant find a stupid connector (New IC706MK2G and

FWIW, it was Alan (I forget his call) that was operating PSK last night, not Bill. It "only" took me three hours and forty minutes to break through the pile, but then again I was QRP. :-) (I did have

Hey, anyone out there wanna try some MFSK16 on 40m tonite? Listen for my tweedles around 7086 hi! 73 de Jay N3DQU.

Bill, Don't let the waterfall filled with calls throw you off. I had the same thing last night and still got through. Once I "bookmarked"his frequency and then "bookmarked one for myself, it was

Hi Chris... I finally captured TI9M at 0548 UTC on 2/28/02. He wason 20 meters and a very smooth operator. I was beginning to think I'dnever get him, but when I checked the band last night before

Yeah, I was surprised to hear him doing that too...best way to screw up control over any pileup! Jay N3DQU.

Hi All, Maybe someone can answer this question. I was listening to PW0T on 10 meters. (Ok, I was trying to work him too). The PW0T op kept saying UP UP or DOWN DOWN, then, ignoring the ops

Just worked TI9M on 20M. He is listening up about 1Khz. Lots of JA and US stations now. Chris KC8LJN

de Jungle Telegraph I haved logged TI9M on PSK31....I NEED to SHOUT that one! What a struggle...5 hours on the keyboard, and watching all the 'attempts'... through QRM/QSB/QRN, pactor Amtor, CW even

Costas, I saw TI9M this evening too, but could not work him on 14 Mhz. Way too much competition! At my location, the 14 Mhz passband looked quiet when I first opened my waterfall. I was making some

Thanks for the pointer! It took me only about 10 minutes to break through the EU pile with my 50 watts. The dual channel mode with Digipan makes split very easy. It'll be a while before we get a

Today TI9M (NA-012) tried 14070.5 with split operation. Very good operator. When facing problems with simples operation, he clearly stated that he listens 1 kHz up. Quite easy to raise them and have a

Again we have another successful applicant for thisprestigious, coveted award :) Many congratulations to our own 070 member, DieterZimmerman DL2RR who has successfully claimed both his MIXED and

Just worked PW0T in RTTY on 15 meters..I called him in the range of my passband, got him after two calls. But higher were a lot of stations piling on each other. 73's Erika/DL2AYL

Hi Costas, I gave up dx-ing on SSB years ago for the same reason. I now use CW for all the DX - I have the PW0, the S07, the VP8G and some of the other recents running just 30w to either a vertical or

Erika, an additional issue is to define reasonable shifts for "UP" (split frequency) for PSK-31. For CW it is 2-4 kHz, for SSB 5-10 kHz. These are based on IF filter bandwidths. Given the way PSK-31
