JHC, jr.
When you get a shot at a rare DX it's callsign and signal report ONLY. Get in and get out so someone else has a chance! I actually have no dog in this particular fight as the DX station (Bangladesh) is too weak to even work. I'm listening to the pileup. Some of these guys are enough to drive a man to drink. Nobody gives a fuck about your antenna, nobody cares about your grandchildren and nobody cares about the rest of your bullshit. Callsign and signal report only! If you want someone's name for the log go to QRZ.com A while ago I heard a guy that knows how to run a pileup. "Could I have your name for the log?" ''Q.R.Zed!" Next person that brays "Could I have your naaaaame for the looog?" I'm going to tell him I don't have one anymore since I lost it in a crap game a coupla weeks ago! |

That drives me insane too.
There was an aeronautical mobile here once on .52. One of our locals was chit chatting and pissed people off as he was passing over |

I think a lot of this "I need your name for the log", or "don't let me hold you but can you give me your working conditions?" stuff is kind of a 'Flex". In other words to show the rest of the world that since they have such a great connection with the DX that they can monopolize their time. In other words, this contact is no big deal to me, I can contact them every day of the week, and I am showing it.
Sure it is one thing to "ragchew" with common so called DX stations like someone in England or France, Germany, Italy or even South Africa. Yes a lot of us CAN speak to stations in Europe all day every day, but when we try that with ACTUAL DX stations on the upper end of the wanted DX lists then we are just "flexing" and showing off, and really pissing off a bunch of the rest of us. Of course these problems don't exist in working DX on FT8. FT8 leaves a lot of bad behavior behind. |

View Quote Before I recently moved to NC from Hawaii some of the Japanese stations were really obnoxious trying to get Hawaii in their logbooks when I reeeeeealy wanted QSOs from anywhere but Japan. I finally quit answering JA stations when one guy I talked to kept asking "What Island?" and I would answer "Hawaii'' (I lived on the big island of Hawaii) and he would say "I know, I know Hawaii but what island?" After three rounds of this I finally said "Oahu" and he said "Sank you". |

I love it when someone tries that on a high powered DXpedition and gets Q Q Zed as a reply and gets drowned out by the pileup. The one that really annoys me is the old man braying piously "Could I have your naaame for the looog?" WTF kind of stupidity is that? More than once the reply has been "I don't have one anymore. I lost it in a crap game last Tuesday night." |

Many older DXers don’t use a computer or electronic logbook and always seem ask for something for their log. Sort of like the 93 year old ham that wandered in on the Arfcom SSB net list night.

There are just so many things a computer can do for you to make your DX game more effective. Not the least is looking up your name for the logbook. |
