Skeds/QSL

Our sked policy

The best way to get a sked is to make it online. We do not favour skeds in advance  due to the following reasons :

    - exact QRG very depends on the QRM - situation ( even on 23cm! )
    - exact time depends on the QSO load of the OPs and on the incoming online skeds
    - weather, equipment problems etc.


There are several ways to reach us during the contest :

1. Find us on 70cm. This will be no problem within a range of some 100km. You can manage skeds there for upper frequencies. The shack is cross connected to the microwave shack.
2. Monitor the DX-Cluster. We are connected to DB0ERF-7 or DB0MDX usually. You can find our frequencies or send a sked request there. Try "sh/dx dl0gth" to get all our spots.
3. Find us in WW-Conv. We are connected to DB0ERF-8 / ch 10368. Please do not use 14345 because it is jammed by other users. The call sign sometimes differs from DL0GTH. Be careful!
4. Call us during the contest via mobile phone! Please send e-mail to get the phone number.
5. We are connected to ON4KST - Chat via Internet over GPRS or WLAN. Try www.on4kst.com/chat/start.php and enter the microwave chat.

 

Our QSL policy

Please send your QSL via bureau or direct. All incoming cards are managed by DL4ALI. Each is card is answered within one year. You will get a common card in case of multiple QSOs. DL0GTH does not send a card on simple request. The reasons for this are mainly technical : the logging software does not support any additional comment and a sheet of paper is quickly lost during the contest. So send your card and you will get the answer guaranteed. Same procedure for any S-DOK provided during the year.

Any suggestions or comments ? Please e-mail  me.
