NEW RADIO ERA...

Hello to everybody. Before write these text I really made a big reflection if I'm going to be understood or not, anyway it’s my opinion and my way to look about New Radio Era…


When new cycle (24) starts to give us a few more chances to work some good DX stations we start to see a lot of Non Senses activations on air…


Stations from European countries doing 15XX/DX or 31XX/DX and others and others… The only objective of these activations are requesting for $$$.

If you want to promote your group use your own callsign!!! Do you need a qsl from Portugal ask for a qsl exchanging… why pay 1 or 2 dollars for a qsl from an easy country???


Other Non Sense operation it’s what is called as 000 (Club Station), as the name say, Club Station It’s a Club operated by their members, minimum of 3 in my modest opinion and contribution in the past was always as free or voluntary. Now what we see??? Club Stations operated by one member from 1 or 2 years on air and asking for $$$... Please be shame on you… It’s these the correct way to promote a Dx Group???


This situation continues from few months ago and few friends of mine have the same opinion as me, THESE ISN’T THE CORRECT WAY DO RADIO…


I’m not against contributions, I’m against to that operators that are only on the air just to collect a few more $$$. Be shame on you and please do a favour to our 11 meter community, move your ass from your chair and do a Real DX for us…

Sorry for my words but some one have to say it, you can like or you can not like it…


P.S= IF YOU REALLY HAVE THE SAME OPINION AND VIEW AS ME PLEASE POST YOUR COMENT, IF NOT NO PROBLEM, WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY… VY 73.

Olá,
Assino por baixo das suas palavras.

No entanto gostaria de questionar o porque de terem recusado a minha QSL.

Contacto aconteceu em:11-07-2011 - 19:30:00
Enviei a QSL para: 119FAT/MA002 Paulo
QSL manager é:31FAT010
A minha QSL foi devidamente entregue, mas recusada.
Enviei um envelope pré-pago para devolução da QSL do 119FAT/MA002 (conforme indica no seu blog)
Aguardo feedback.
Obrigado,

Olá Sérgio

Obrigado pela sua resposta. Não entendi o teor da sua resposta sobre a qsl da 119FAT/MA002. Sua carta foi recebida a 100% e enviada para si em 7-12-2011. Daí não entender "foi recusada". O envio da qsl cumpriu os normais "tempos" de resposta (até 6 meses após fim da expedição). Julgo que recebeu a minha qsl. Caso negativo entre em contacto comigo via e-mail. Vy 73.

Hi Paul,

I come to agree and sign beneath your words.
I do not agree with what is happening in DX, some stations ask for contribution to confirm a simple qsl.
I am of opinion that the contribution should only exist in important expeditions (new one's) or special event station, or rare stations and should be only voluntary. Besides paying to have a simple qsl from 31div. or 14div., for the example, only gives the bad image of the station, the operator and the country. After all this is a hobby or a way to make some money to someone??

It is only my opinion.
