First one to guess correctly, gets the gold star.
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.
I'm not really familiar with JT-65 either but it looks like you've already worked that Five-Lander twice.
Bzzzt! Sorry, wrong guess.Quote:

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

NT5A using your grid square?
Hint: Look at the text I was sending. It's on the right side, just under the waterfall.
Ahhh DX... of the International DX kind. Not the local kind...lolQuote:

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.Quote:

Not to hijack, Jim....but I'm having a hell of a time getting my JT65 working right

We don't usually tip on the Island. But here's two bits just the same.Quote:

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

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.
And its not just on JT65!
Here's a snip from my PSK screen from a few months ago:

When I posted this in a thread over at the swamp, Burt got upset with me because I was too rude and selfish to take a few minutes out of my busy schedule to answer this guy. His rule is that you should answer EVERYONE who responds when you call CQ no matter if you are calling CQDX or not!
To put it bluntly, Burt can go fuck himself. :roll:Quote:

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

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

I'm getting real close to starting a thread called "The JT65 Gallery of Idiots".
:wall: :wall:
I'm trying to work the JA, you fucking jackass!! If I wanted to work your stupid ass, I would have responded to you and not the JA.

Then he starts calling CQ on my slice of waterfall. :roll:
Fucking asshole... :rant: :rant:
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
Think I'll go and twist the KNOB 'cos it's all for free
I'm searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
(Freakin' LID!)
Hey, over, under, sideways, down
Hey, backwards, forwards, square and 'round
Hey, over, under, sideways, down
Hey, backwards, forwards, square and 'round
(Round KNOB that is.)
I've been unloading on these dick heads using the JT-Alert chat feature. I'm sure I'm not too popular at this point.Quote:

Not only did he call me twice after I was calling CQDX, but when I stopped calling, he tried calling me 4 more times!
Un-bee-fucking-lievable.... :roll:
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:Quote:

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