Who is P40A?
Locked
 
|
Last night on 40 meters, there was a pile up on this S9+20dB signal. He
was sending pretty fast - P40A (or was it P40N?). I gave him a call. He came back to another station. After the next QRZ, I called, paused then called twice. He came back to me ... KD1E? I answered KD1E KD1E 5nn 5nn BK He answered KD1E? I slowed just a bit and repeated KD1E KD1E KD1E 5nn 5nn 5nn BK KD1E QSL 5nn TU. So who is this? A DXpedition? And more importantly where do you find info on stations like this - you know, the ones with the odd calls that appear and disappear from time to time. - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Keith, according to qrz.com, P40A is the Aruba QTH of KK9A John Bayne.
P40N is a Dutchman by the name of Michale Noertemann. Both have email addresses, try emailing them and see if you are in their logs. - JT On 5/23/06, Darwin, Keith <[hidden email]> wrote: > Last night on 40 meters, there was a pile up on this S9+20dB signal.

I worked him, too. He wasn't S9+20. More like S9+40 here in Georgia. Sometimes he lit up every segment of the S-meter. Working him was easy. He had a TON of callers, so it isn't surprising he needed some repeats. I put in a late call, he came back to AA4R, I resent my call twice and he came back with the correction. He was a quick and efficient op. > I gave him a call. > He came back to another station. After the next QRZ, I called, paused > then called twice.

There are lots of DX bulletins, most of which you have to pay for. Perhaps the most up-to-date source is the DX packetcluster (although most people access it through the internet these days).

Up-to-date DX news is easy to come by and free. Although some bulletins
are pay subscription based, I wouldn't agree that "most" require a paid subscription. Here are links to 4 excellent and free email/internet based DX bulletins: OPDX: http://www.papays.com/opdx.html DX News Letter: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fedxms.htm ARRL DX News: http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/dx/ (you can subscribe to receive the bulletins via email if you're an ARRL member) 425 DX News: http://www.425dxn.org/ Lou, WØFK Message: 12 Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 21:22:17 -0400 From: Bill Coleman <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Who is P40A?
