Hello Jav: If you are talking about the station who called the one running, the usual reason is that he didn't figure out who he was calling until after the QSO was over. He thought he was calling a
Stu is correct that sharing this sort of information is valuable. I believe, however, that the "gentleman's agreement" always was to do an Announcement of these occurrences rather than a DX Spot. Of

Does anybody here have any reliable, recent information on licensing in Greece? The stuff on the ARRL page is both ancient and essentially useless. I'm thinking very seriously at taking off to do the
