A smilar problem exists in use of Digital Sked Requests because it is so NON Specific you just end up with a lot of Junk Mail where they dont fit the mode you are looking for....
With many Digital specialty areas operators have specific modes PSK, SSTV that are looking to setup skeds.
I was looking to setup SSTV skeds and a Digital Sked Request brought 100's of emails of which only a few operate SSTV so all that happened is a lot of people had a lot of time wasted for only 1 station worked.
Simple to fix but totally useless in its current fomat, if you are serious about including Digital modes.

A question to those that chase DX on Digital modes, I find the broad nature of lumping all Digital Sked requests together under the one heading does not work for certain modes.
Personally I would like to be able to send out Sked Requests under my area of interest ONLY ie SSTV that way I am saved the time of sorting through a lot of mail from responders that dont use the mode I am chasing.
If this is truly a DX tool then it needs further refinement to be really usefull for the Digital DX hunters.
Any Comments or ideas ?

This a a great mode for testing progation and antennas and refining your station to Peak operating capacity I know here in AUs it is very active and we have discussed how much more activity it would stimulate across the world if there where awards specific to SSTV.

I promote EQSL on my SSTV site as it is a natural match with DIGITAL modes as a lot of SSTV staions have websites itr works to get the message out there......

What about an area on EQSL where hams can select there area of interest and add there URL to an index it all helps to get the word around then each site must have an EQSL lookup bar to list in the index, just an idea.

I use this on SSTV to confirm with the staions that they have been EQSL logged...

I have a SSTV Webcam that monitors my HF SSTV activities this is helping to generate more activity in the VK region, to get more EQSL's I find you need to activitly promote it at every level as it is still relatively new and a lot of the older operators have not hear of it.
I have placed the lookup link on the site, we run our own SSTV Chat line in VK and sent bulletins to the local WIA news service.
Just like the old days chasing DX, TRY EVERYTHING, then try it again...
