[WVDXA] TO5E Daily News for July 4th

[W8TN - Clark]

Guys,

     Here is the Daily News (posted last night) on the TO5E web site.  They
are PLEADING with folks NOT to ask for their Grid, their Country or ANYTHING
except a signal report.  Also, many folks are continuing to work them again
and again after they are already in the online log.  Please check the online
log at the following URL and if your call is there, DO NOT work them again.
A CW and an SSB QSO is fine but that's all you should work them because they
want to give out FJ to as many different folks as possible for a new
country.

==========

The purpose of this DX-Pedition is to provide a new country for six meter
operators. DAILY NEWSJuly 4, 2008 0206z We had a good day today after two
poor days. We are now at 1108 qsos after we take the dupes out. We are
really disappointed in especially the CW operators who are to lazy to check
the on line logs which would clearly show they are in the log but instead
they work us two or three times causing QRM to people who need us yet and
wasting our time working them again. It is Very, very disappointing after
going to all the work to have on line logs and people don't even take a few
seconds to see if they are in the log. If it is the same day we understand
but these are people we worked on previous days and they were in the on line
logs. We worked ND, MT, and a number of WA again so we have WY, ID, OR, NV
and UT that we have not worked of the contiguos 48. We are now at 42
counties, new ones today CT3, SP, EA8, SV in EU. It was a good day into EU.
We stood by about 10 times for W7, W0 and W6 about half on CW and half on
SSB. THANKS FOR STANDING BY THOSE OF YOU IN THE OTHER DISTRICTS. It was
absolutely dead quiet on the frequency. Some people just don't seem to get
it. We want signal reports like 55 or 559 or whatever and not grid squares.
For one thing our dx pedition logging program does not take grid square but
we can work around that putting it in as a name BUT as a safety measure so
we dont log a contact without a report we have to have a rst/RS report. We
could care less about what your grid square is and over a 10 day period it
wastes a lot of time!!!. Most of the time the signals are just there a few
seconds so be quick. To many of you send your call over and over and we
never get your signal report and you are NOT IN THE LOG! WE DO NOT LOG a
CONTACT UNLESS WE COPY A SIGNAL REPORT! I am just amazed at how uninformed a
lot of people are. All they need to do is read any DX news or type in To5e
in GOOGLE or other search engine and you can find out we are in St. BART IN
FK87ov. We have people ruining other peoples QSO's so they don't get a new
country because some stations are asking and asking what is your grid
square, what is your country??? We are putting in long days trying to give
as many as possible a new country and we have people to lazy to do a little
work on there own to look up our info. Nearly everyone is using phonetics
which is great and really saves time and cuts down on logging mistakes and
saves lots of time. We will be on the air though Sunday July 6th and maybe
and hour or two into July 7th. Please check if you are in the on line log
and if you are in it don't work us again on the same mode. A CW and SSB
CONTACT ARE FINE. You can be assured we are on 50.103 all day long starting
in the dark here and continuing long after dark. I am seriously thinking
about starting a DX HOG list of those who work us three or more times AFTER
they are in the on line log!!! This is just uncalled for to work us over and
over when we have on line logs and people are in the on line log!!!! This is
preventing other people from working a new country!!!! CALL SIGN:TO5E
