eContest Suggestions » Qso Party Dec 23, 2005 06:21 PM (Total replies: 45)

Good evening

Knowing me, I have done something stupid and posted on the wrong forum. I await the abuse at a later time.

e qsl net. sounds like a good idea to me. A chance to spread the word of e qsl and the chance of a few more calls towards an award. I bow to everyones vastly superior knowledge. I have only held a licence since March 2005 and have already rattled a few peoples cages in the uk by having the timerity to mention 'e-qsl'. Operating from home is a real luxury, I spend most of my time truck driving in europe ( not allowed to operate from europe with 2e0 licence). On my return to UK, up goes the 40 or 20 m whip and the FT817 is stoked up. A little help from a 50 w linear helps to compensate for the poor antenna location that is available to me.
I have noted that times of 0200 utc were mentions by someone ( I hope to sleep sometimes)

I have another suggestion based on my very limited experience. I truely expect this idea to receive an exocet across its bows but how about picking a frequency on 20m Lets say for example 14.260 and then let it be known that it is a meeting frequency for e qsler's in the same way as we here in the UK have special interest groups centred (all unofficially) on particular frequencies. No one would have a right to use the fx if there is an existing qso. but hopefully there are enough e qsl'ers active throughout the world that there would be a fair chance of working another member. Calling 'CQ eqsl' might be all it takes.

Thats my idea, ladies & gentlemen you have 3 weeks to take the idea to pieces and dispose of it, I am back to work on 26th dec and will be away for yet another 3 week stint.

Compliments of the season to everyone
