[ADXA] PE1OAD/MM on 40m

[sbranyan at cox.net]

Thanks very much for the helpful info, San!

I tried a few times, but I didn't catch last night as stations on the east coast were booming 59+30 to him. He was running 100w and 165' wire. 

On his QSL cards he gives MV (motor vessel), the position in latitude and longtitude and the qth locator. 

I might have to become a grid chaser after all, hihi. 

Does the same info apply to Air Mobile? I've heard a few of them that were very strong out of the gulf or in the Caribbean. They always seem to generate a big pileup however.

Scott:

The MM QSOS would count for the worldwide grid square chase but the exact co-ordinate to pinpoint the grid would be needed on the QSL. You could likely take his stated position and pinpoint it yourself and if needed as a grid, tell him you are sending a card and please note his grid of XXOO on the card. 

A boat tied to a dock is not valid for a DXCC country, but it is a MM operating position. Otherwise you must operate from the dock per se with equipment and power supply off the boat.

Michel on cargo ship from the Netherlands north of Bermuda 160 km. Heading to Baltimore. 7.142 0133z.

 

Are there any awards for chasing MM or AM?
