INTERNATIONAL NAVAL CONTEST ---> This year's International Naval Contest
will be organized by Marinefunkerrunde (MF), the German Naval Society.
Complete details on the event, that will be held on 11-12 December, can be
found on www.marinefunker.de
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html . QSOs confirmed
through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible for listing. Send
send your scores, as well as any request for further information, to
Erminio Pandocchi, I2EOW (i2eow[@]fastwebnet.it)
ZL8X ---> The following update was issued by DL1MGB on 3 December:
* 160m operation update
With over 3,500 QSOs already in our log one might think that pile-ups are
getting smaller on Top Band. But there are still a lot of stations who want
to get their chance to make it in our 160m log. In the last days we
observed bad behaviours of cluster users which makes our and the caller's
life very hard. We have following advice for all of you:
- Do not spot our split frequency! Those who hear us also can copy our
split frequency, those who do not hear us should also not call us!
- Do not spot us if we are already spotted! It just produces more QRM!
- Do not spot us if we have to move our TX frequency to avoid additional
QRM!
- Tell us in the cluster when we are jammed on our TX frequency! We will
read the cluster spots and can move immediately to another frequency.
- We will only work SSB when there is no pile-up on CW. So please do not
ask for SSB when there is a CW pile-up!
We are very sorry but last night our beverage to North America was broken.
So it was very hard to copy NA stations in the S9 noise of the ground
plane. We will repair it during daytime today.
* RTTY operation update
You already might observed that we extended our RTTY operation to more
bands than originally planned. This is due to the decreasing pile-ups on
the bands. So if the pile-ups in CW or in SSB are not too high we also
offer RTTY operation on that band. Because the demand for a CW QSO on 80m
is still high we will definitely not offer RTTY operation there.
