Hi All
Is there anyone out there keeping any records about TA activity and
countries worked by LF operators. For instance:
1. Is there a  record of any two way qso's on 136 or 73 khz.
2. Xband qso's 136/HF real time.
3. Those using beacons on 136 khz and getting reports, which really
amount to short wave listeners reports.
These are 3 distinct categories and totally different in procedures
required for award purposes etc.
As far as I am concerned a 2 way qso or xband qso should take place at
one session and in the shortest time possible and not over days, weeks
putting bits and pieces of the callsign together to
claim a qso.
Some seem to be implying that being heard on beacon mode on 73 and 136 k
hz is the same as
a two way on the band or xband qso. Not as far as I am concerned.
