Buongiorno a tutti,
tema ormai trito e ritrito quello del QSO DX ad orari impossibili in particolare sulle bande basse a partire dai 40 metri. Viene segnalato sul reflector del Clipperton DX Club (al quale accedo come immeritatamente socio) una presa di posizione (ormai datata in verità) di F6ARC Olivier, su quanto successo a lui dalla Guadalupa e da quanto segnalato da una stazione californiana. Molto edificante il fatto che in due casi segnalati ci siano italiani. Lo so che non serve a nulla e che tanto ormai la pratica è consumata e attuata di routine senza ritegno alcuno, ma mi fa riflettere quanto dice l'OM americano: tali comportamenti e abitudini così sconfortanti e demoralizzanti, mi hanno fatto abbandonare il DXing.

Cheaters beware!
Many of us have witnessed how some so-called DXers will use any means to better their DXCC standings, particularly on 80 and/or 160m. Whether it be using WebSDR for receive or out-of-country remote for transmission, it seems some won’t hesitate in crossing the line.
To our amusement, they often shoot themselves in the foot, in openly demonstrating their lack of knowledge of propagation on these bands. Such was the case for an Italian IK2*** who, in 2017, responded to my CQ on CW, 20 minutes prior to my sunrise in FG (10:00z) on 80m. He was 599! I ignored him and continued calling CQ. His calls were followed by an F5***! Same signal, same treatment.
Last but not the least, this message received from California, USA: “the two callsigns I heard on 40m last night were SV2*** and DD5**. It was clearly the same transmitter, because the signal was not clean, and had the same artifacts for both callsigns. It was quite loud, and I was not able to hear any other EU stations on the vertical antenna at the time. Just now (0503 - 0510Z), I heard callsigns I1***, I2*** and DF2** work E6Y on 80m CW. The also all appeared to be the same signal (same strength and fist), and much too loud. This behaviour is so disheartening. It makes me want to give up on DXing”.
I deliberately omitted their suffixes, they will probably recognize themselves
This year, should I have any doubts about the use of WebSDR (delays in responding) or remote transmission (abnormal signal strength in comparison to others from the same region), such calls won’t be confirmed in my log. In addition to the above measures, should I receive calls from multiple callsigns in series, each with the same signal, same keying and tone, only the first callsign will reach my log. So be sure your callsign is the first used!
