Yep, I'm a new one on this list...Bet you've seen these
questions b4:
1) Is there a faq from this reflector (or other historical
mechanism)...
2) Aside from the QSL Information Database (the IK4LZH server)
what is the best source for QSL info? For example, I recently
worked TY8GUP on 7Mhz. Both IK4LZH and a Northern Calif. DX
Cluster could not supply any info...(Actually, I live in So.
Cal but I'm not sure of a Cluster I can get to from my location
near Thousand Oaks.)
Any alternatives/ideas newsletters etc?
Kindest Regards,
-Mike (AK6N)

Comments: Great conditions on 15, our run station stayed there most of Saturday
(1300+Q's before changing bands).
Low bands were a little tough to be heard in the Carribean /SAm. Hrd only a
couple Europeans but they were calling, not running. Zone 18 on 160 was a
surprise, as was the JW on 80!
Lots of zone 34 activity - SU2MT called us (worked on 2 bands!), and we also
worked 5A1A, ET3AA, 3V8BB, FR5DX, VQ9IO and more in what can be some tough
zones for us. 38 zones worked in total - missed 22 and 26.
Best last minute "MODIFICATION": adding a WX0B Stack Match box just before the
contest. I haven't any x over x over x stacks (yet) but being able to run any
one of the monobanders plus the log plus one of the TH-6's in various
directions really helped our running.
>From this far north, in the "even blacker hole", it was a pretty good
weekend.
