"I thought everybody had..." Easter Island?



As you see above, in the same equinox slot, approaching 12 years ago.
If it's going to happen, this is the best window. Note the time worked.

Yes Adam I have Easter Island on 50MHz fone & CW too but as T30JH and C21JH, not from VK...

Spoke to XR0YG early this morning on 30m CW and was told "Sorry oc, no 50MHz and no fone, 160-10m CW", thems the ways...

You will need to rework as VK4GHZ anyway...

Ahhh Adam... resorting to showing your QSL collection!

Why? I have already worked it.

Jack, unfortunately this train of thought is one of the reasons why 6m is generally associated with neurotic and irrational behavior.
Well beyond what might be described as "enthusiast".

Neurotic:
behavioral symptoms such as phobic avoidance, vigilance, impulsive and compulsive acts, lethargy, etc., cognitive problems such as unpleasant or disturbing thoughts, repetition of thoughts and obsession, habitual fantasizing, negativity and cynicism, etc. Interpersonally, neurosis involves dependency, aggressiveness, perfectionism, schizoid isolation, socio-culturally inappropriate behaviors, etc.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Crikey, sounds like a group of people I know!

Jack, as far as I am aware, changing call signs does not negate stations worked under a previous call sign for DXCC purposes. I decided to start again when I moved from VK7 to VK4 but that was a personal choice.

Wayne, was not making reference to you (read posting), was directed as a dig in the ribs to Adam VK4GHZ and no one else. Couldn't give a continental about it anyway, there is more to life than radio, family comes first here, radio is last, always has been...

Well it does appear that an element of OCD is exhibited by many 6m ops

Hi Jack

I knew you were making a did at Adam but I did not want some of the newbies to the DX scene to think that changing calls meant you have to start your tally again.

I don't think we need to take this thread into the realm of how biased or anal retentive 6m ops can be (IMHO no worse than the passionate supporters of other bands, modes, other hobbies) it was meant to be simple information about an interesting dxpedition.

Why, O why, do we have to take every opportunity to snipe?
