Mike is in TX - now we'll get DX!

12-20-2017 News Flash ...Mike, W9MK will be QRV from TX this week!  Now we'll have some DX action. *That is if he can drag his lazy behind out of bed.  The dynamic duo, W9UCW & W9MK should bring out all of the rare DX that has been taking a break from 75m for the past year.  Now if we could just get W6UC to swim across and disable the Chinese RADAR....
Update, Fri. 12-22 I was right.  All kinds of DX the past 2 days.  A BH (China) even called me this morning.  However, he was very weak and the (China) radar took him out.  Mike is headed back home, so we will see....

**** Rules for efficient working of DX (not DXpeditions):

  1. First, their callsign & be sure that they have yours
  2. Then, & only then, their report & confirm yours 
  3. THEN, your name ... not your equipment, weather, etc.
  4. Chit chat like...Conditions are not very good, I'm not hearing you very well, lots of noise here, my grandkids are brilliant, bla, bla, bla are not helpful and often confuse the DX station.  They certainly use up time while other stations are waiting!  My 3 cents worth -- HP3AK
You can save the 'folksy' comments for your next rag chew.
