[SADXA] VP6D DXpedition

[Wes Stewart]

Dennis,

Congratulations on making the Qs you did.  It's too bad that guys are making 
dupe contacts, particularly when VP6D is using DXA (http://www.dxa3.org/vp6d/)  
on their website to show completed QSOs within a minute or two, as well as 
showing the bands that they are currently working.  When it's working of course. 
At the moment it has some issues.  All of my CW and SSB QSOs are there but two 
FT8 contacts are not.  Hence, if I was really interested in FT8 QSOs I would be 
working them again.

Hang in there.  They will be there a while longer.

Wes  N7WS

I've heard and tried to work FT8 to Ducie Island on 20 and 17 meters with no luck, barefoot, 100 watts. On 20 meters they were listening on 14.283 and on 17 meters up 5 Mhz. It amazes me that there are so many hams that are making second calls, which are announced by the DX group saying "you are in the log already". It's hard enough to get a contact with people doubling up on theirs!
