But at the same time, there are examples of very strange conditions with
spotlight effects that defy explanation.
My problem is: miracles are unique events. If someone repeats miracles
for every DX expedition, can I suspect there is some cheating? Near my
city there is a DX'er who was able to work a rare Pacific island on top
band. He was the only italian in the log. Last march I was listening
at my sunrise, there was poor activity on CW so I started reading on
FT8. An XE station was working him, but I have only read the XE
station, it looked strange to me because the DX'er is only few Km away,
so his trace usually takes a wide portion of my screen, but that time
the screen was empty on his slot.
I have another question: ARRL accepts all QSLs without a real check.
The checker can write a report if he suspects wrong timing or
counterfacts cards, but I suspect that report is thrown in the trash
when received at Newington. Could I put on a yellow tarpaulin and
braids, then sit in front of the ARRL desk in Dayton with a sign "strike
for remote TX"? Er... maybe I am too old and ugly for that... :-)
Tree thanks for your patience. I will stop questioning about that...
well... for a few days :-)
GL!
