[HCRA] DX Summit Spot Database

[mfdechristopher at mail.plymouth.edu]

I was browsing through the spot database on DX Summit today and pulled up some interesting results for "W1NY" and "NE1C"...that's right, we have been spotted before!

1) Here's a good one from FD 2006:
NP3D     7003.9 W1NY    FD FD                           0204 25 Jun 2006

2) And a very interesting one from NEQP 2006 (check out the spotter!):
KX1X    14278.0 W1NY    Hampshire County NEQP           1454 07 May 2006

3) What happens when the cluster itself (or himself, as the case may be) spots you?
K1TTT   50127.0 W1NY    not in ny                       1523 27 Jun 2004

4) The WPX ops (NE1C at K1TTT) always garner attention, this one gets the prize for the coolest...and it's Jake, KB1NSN:
K3MQ     1851.0 NE1C    WPX - YOUNGSTER DOING FB        0058 24 Mar 2007
Anyone doing "FB" on 160 deserved a trophy

5) On the flip side, we did make a Canadian or two angry:
VE7GL   14158.5 NE1C   Not listening on this freq.      2216 24 Mar 2007
VE7GL   14158.2 NE1C   still not listening on this fr   2301 24 Mar 2007
The good news is that he came back, almost an hour later, and we still had the same freq despite the QRM.

6) Similar was my 40m run the year before - a band I'm not too fond of, and it showed:
KM9M     7197.1 NE1C    wpx-workin' hard                1835 26 Mar 2006
5B4AHS   7197.1 NE1C    +30db Broadcasting..... ;(      1837 26 Mar 2006

7) Does this guy work any REAL DX??
KX1X     7280.0 WB1HOF  Basketball Hall Of Fame Spcl E  1501 14 Oct 2000
KX1X    28619.0 N1OLF   RI                              2121 09 Dec 2000
KX1X    21360.0 W1W     Special Event Station Cub Sco   1025 03 Jun 2000
KX1X    14294.0 W1S     Spec                            1038 03 Jun 2000
KX1X    14294.0 W1W     special event cubscouts WMA     1038 03 Jun 2000
Please note the Rhode Island "rare DX" thrown in there.  The rest of them are HCRA or Crew DX!

8) WB1HOF got plenty of praise on their own, however...
PA3CWN  21325.0 WB1HOF  spec. World Basketball Hall Of  1639 06 Oct 2001
WB1Z    28412.6 WB1HOF  Basketball Hall of Fame SE  Op  1440 28 Sep 2002
WB1Z    14310.0 WB1HOF  Basketball Hall of Fame SE Ope  1456 28 Sep 2002
Now, if memory serves me right, wasn't B1Z at WB1HOF that year??

9) Last but not least, my personal favorite:
W3NZ    21310.0 KB1FWN  mike wma                        1024 01 Aug 2007
W3NZ    21310.0 K1KAA   was using wrong call!           1025 01 Aug 2007




Happy DX,
