How about a "DX-DAY" for forum members

[unit_399]

Now that I FINALLY got off my ass and put a station on the air, I want to hookup with as many forum members as possible. I was hoping our admins could arrange a DX-DAY for our members. Pick a generally unused freq, day and time, and go for it. Maybe set up an alternative freq to QSY to if the 1st freq gets busy with hangers-on. Just a thought.

Great Idea, I heard you on 38lsb the other day but band conditions were rough on my end.

Sounds like fun! I heard someone chatting with you a few days ago.

I love that idea.

Channels 30-33 seem to be a bit less crowded in my receive.
SSB on those channels could work well.

my vote for a day would be a thursday or a friday but i figure most will want a weekend.

I'm definitely up for it, depending on when and what my schedule looks like. I like the idea of a less busy channel. Anywhere from 30 to 35

 

[Brother DXer]

As of now, it doesn't look like I'm too busy this weekend. If someone wants to choose a channel, I'll gladly monitor occasionally, throughout the weekend and give a shout out.
Are we using WDX call sign?

Any thoughts on this? Anyone else in?

Conditions for me may be a total bust, or they may not.

I'm in.

I will be listening to.385 LSB through out the weekend. If anyone wants to try a different channel I am all for it. If we meet up and there is a pile up I would suggest QSY to .405 USB. But we can just call it the QSY channel so the whole pile up doesn't follow.

 

[Brother DXer]

Good idea on the QSY channel.
I'll keep it on .385 LSB and we'll see what happens.

I have things to do , but will try to bounce around on 35 and 40 when out and about.

Good idea on going to USB, not many on 27mhz run there. I can try to get on the radio occasionally throughout the weekend. Post some times and I'll make a point to be out with it turned all the way up. WDX134

 

[unit_399]

I will be on the air Saturday from about 10am Eastern Standard time (our time here) . I will call "CQ-WWDX on 38LSB and 40USB. I'll give my call sign and listen. Hope to connect with a lot of you guys tomorrow.

Sounds like fun,I'll try to make contact with you guys when I get home from work after 4 if the net is still running on 38 LSB and 40 USB!!!

 

[whiteastro]

I think USB is a great idea because it isn't used much. I will try to catch you if I get a chance but my place will be a hub of activity today with a roofing crew here. Hope your plan goes well and gets adopted !

On 38 LSB now, a huge pileup.
