Hello TopBanders,
First of all, R.I.P> Jim, VK9NS - I will always remember you.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, thank you all for the nice words about FW5RE.
The low band operator there is Laci, HA0NAR.
He is definitely doing his best to dig out call signs from the mud of noise
- and QRM.
I share the opinion of SV3RF to some extent. There are some contacts in the
160 m log, which are generating questions.
No secret that I make a complete recording of every 160 m operation for EU
- at least when I am at home. In general I can tell that almost everybody
East of the OH-SP-OM-HA-S5 line had very solid QSOs. Now there are only SIX
stations in the log West of that line. I can tell you that I heard BOTH
sides of four QSOs, and enough of the remaining two, that I can say these
contacts were good.
Whether or not these contacts were made from the "home" QTH of the licence
holders, I cannot tell. But I already received enough e-mails from DX'ers
to know that many of you are trying to get access to the best possible QTH
in your area to have a better chance.
The biggest problem I hear is that whenever FW5RE answers someone, there
are immediately other stations jump on the TX frequency of the European
station and start calling and giving reports. This is unacceptable! This is
probably how two top DXer's got to the log, but they have been removed from
it at their own request. (And by the way, this is how a few years ago my
contact in progress with TX9 had been destroyed by other EU callers - an
incident which I am not going to forgive for).
Agelos, if you have proof that fake QSO's were made, please send it to me
in private to either HA0DU@dx.hu or FW5RE@ha0du.com

Topbanders,
I would like to write a few words from my side also for this DXpedition.
For the time I use to be on topband I agree with Rys SP5EWY It is the best
effort with focus on low bands.My sincere TNX to all the team.
Besides I want to say to the operators not only to this particular
DXpedition but for any future ones, to be more carefull with the fake QSO's.
Hearing the trafic after my QSO on topband I noticed for one more time
several fellows calling agn and agn obviously without hearing the DX at all.
Some of them they dont even know CW and what they do is programming one
memory on the PC, Tune with the maximum available power and press enter
repetedly, something like 'Calsign' 5NN 5NN Tnx.
My surprise was next day I checked the online logs and I saw some of them
in the log.
On the other hand I know some people with a lot of knowledge and effort
that they really deserving the reward not being in the log.This is not fair.
As far I know the operators participating in any DXpedition are all
experienced, and I think it is not very difficult to pick out this 'FEW' I
believe obvious cheat ops.
It is not my intention to publish any callsigns although it is not allowed
on this reflector due to administration rules but if it continues this
situation I am going to keep recording files and will do it somewhere else.
GL Agelos, SV3RF
