the DF appears to be wrong? Not familiar with JT65 but thats the only thing I could see different... Dont know what DF stands for

*eta* also no sig report.

[NQ6U]

I'm not really familiar with JT-65 either but it looks like you've already worked that Five-Lander twice.

[KJ3N]

Bzzzt! Sorry, wrong guess.

DF (I believe) stands for Dial Frequency. They weren't off my frequency by more than 10 Hz. That's not the problem.

Please try again.

[KJ3N]

Looks to me like someone is sending a CQ using your call sign, but I'm not really familiar with JT-65 either.

Nope, but you're a bit closer to the reason I didn't respond to the 2 stations in red.

Oops, sorry, I edited my post as you were composing yours.

Does it have anything to do with his grid square? He's got a Five Land call but he's located in San Dimas (eastern Los Angeles County).

He probably figured Delaware was another country.

Not likely. If it follows the usual pattern, both wanted DE on JT-65. It didn't matter (or dawn on them) that I was calling for DX. It's not the first time this has happened and it's probably not the last time, unfortunately.

This is a prime example of why I don't get on the bands and call CQ. :roll:

QSOs do not decode. I get the waterfalls...line up on them, still no decode.

What program? I'm using JT65-HF. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jt65-hf/

[W7XF]

same one

[KJ3N]

For whatever reason, the program needs a reasonable high level of audio to decode. I've got the audio input to the computer on my Navigator cranked to about 75% of full, and the digital gain slider in the program cranked up to about 4.

On an empty frequency (no signals), you need to make sure the audio input level indicator (upper left corner) reads "0". Anything below about -4 and the program doesn't like to decode.

You were sending "CQ DX" and you don't consider them DX.

They're on the same continent as I am. They're not DX. Morans....

[W3WN]

They're on the same continent as I am. They're not DX. Morans....Well, FWIW, I've run into the same thing. It happened when I was experimenting with PSK-31 (which I'm going to get back to with the 'new' rig), it's happened when I'm calling 'CQ DX' on CW.

The bottom line is that some induhviduals are clueless, pure and simple.

Reminds me of two incidents from the past...

(1) Back when I was in school, one year we tried a weekly 'Penn State ARC Summer Net' on 40 SSB. Got disrupted every week by some maroon, who had no association with the club or the University of any sort, just HAD to check into the net, and proceed to tell us about his life. The attempt to meet was officially terminated when we got together for Field Day, it wasn't worth the aggravation.

(2) I was talking with another ham on 2 meters. We were both mobile, heading to the same destination. So a relatively new ham from a county away breaks in, joyfully tells us how happy he is to work us, and proceeds with his life story. He should have paid a little more attention to the subject at hand; we were both on the way to the funeral home, for the viewing of the wife of a long-time club member. Suffice to say, the clueless one never paid attention to the conversation he was breaking into, or never realized how inappropriate that 'break' was.

[KJ3N]

For fuck's sake, I'm already in a QSO, you schmuck!

It all started when poor telegraphers put the lid from a tin can on the sounder. Sounders are long gone but the lids remain, much to the dismay of GOOD operators. Oh well, we have tin foil hats to put up with too...

I find comment 'bout my DX QSO irrelativity

KJ3N, I need to work you sometime, I am missing Delaware and Oklahoma for WAS.

I probably won't be able to do much ham radio this week, but I need to get you in the log at some point.

Setting up a sked is fine by me. Just be aware of a few caveats:

1. I don't do CW. I prefer SSB, or a few of the digital modes like PSK, RTTY, or JT65.
2. I'm not on LoTW. I'm on eQSL, or paper card by mail.

Pick a band, mode, and time. I cover every band from 160m to 6m. I'm home most of the time.

[AE5CP]

I can do JT65, and most bands 40-6.
I will let you know when I have a bit of free time.
Paper QSL would be fine, I am in no hurry to get it confirmed, next hamfest with a card checker around here is in August.

How about CQ DX. I on't thank that 4 nur 5 is DX...

[AE5CP]

Usually I pick these up because it's easier to work them than have them chewing up your receive cycle overpowering any DX. The other reason is they occasionally need you for WAS or some other award.
I have never called to a station calling for DX, but I have seen plenty of other hams doing it.

[KJ3N]

Usually I pick these up because it's easier to work them than have them chewing up your receive cycle overpowering any DX.

I refuse to do that. All it does is encourage others to interrupt you. Once you start down that road, you can kiss all the DX goodbye, as one after the other pesters you. I've either shut down, or changed bands on these guys when they don't get the hint.


The other reason is they occasionally need you for WAS or some other award.

I know WHY they're doing it. Doesn't change the fact that it's still rude.

I play ham radio on my terms. If they refuse to understand that, then I simply go do something else. They need me; I don't need them. I don't chase paper.


I have never called to a station calling for DX, but I have seen plenty of other hams doing it.

any tips?

The first two things I always do are A. Cycle the power, and B. The 1 inch drop. Just pick up the corner and lift it 1 inch and let it fall. 1.5 is too much and 1/2 is too little. 1 inch solves problems. If that fails you just might have to breakdown and read the manual but, only as a last resort. That kind of torture must not be undertaken lightly. I believe that the writers they hire to write these things these days are hired on their ability to write grammatically correct inscrutable prose and grammatically correct is optional.

I would like to think that my advice might help but, sadly, it's unlikely.

More likely is you might find it mildly amusing and that could brighten your day slightly

Good luck

Archie N8OBM

[kb2vxa]

"That kind of torture must not be undertaken lightly."
That's why I always say if all else fails read the instructions, the key words being IF ALL ELSE FAILS. When it comes to a construction project, especially kit building, those key words also apply. If at first you don't succeed try a bigger hammer, but IF ALL ELSE FAILS dynamite always works. This always applies to metalwork, that's why it's called drilling and blasting. Software however is the world's greatest mystery, so another saying applies; if all else fails, fukit.

Actually, Burt predates the swamp. He's been on this "crusade" of his at least since the heady days of Usenet. Just search the Usenet archives like rec.radio.amateur.policy for his name and/or callsign. You'll see stuff as far back as the late 90s.

That won't fit. You get 13 characters max, including spaces. Plus, putting the "CQ DX" in front of my call would make it impossible to simply double-click on the text in JT65-HF. JT65-HF doesn't know how to grab the callsign received if it's not right after the "CQ". It's a quirk in the program.


I'm just wondering if the putz(s) are seeing the first part ("CQ KJ3N") and ignoring the second part.

Or how about the morans who just key up on a repeater, give their callsign and say "listening". So yeah ?? you are listening, what I am supposed to do or why would I care ? I am certainly not gong to respond to them. If you want to talk break into an established conversation with something relevant to the topic at hand. Otherwise shut up.

IZE:
"Or how about the morans who just key up on a repeater, give their callsign and say "listening"."
IU:
"These are the same people who give their call sign followed by, "for ID"."

WØTKX for id not ego.

Rare is anyone who gets it.

Yes, I pronounce id as a word.

Bazinga!
