Signal Reports That Don't Make Sense
Submitted by 43D1 on Thu, 2005-12-08 13:09.
Been seeing and hearing a number of cases over a long period of time of some strange signal reports being exchanged. Although the conventional signal reporting guidelines have been in existence for decades, some operators still manage to supply contradictory reports! For example a report given as 4/0 does not make sense except to imply that there was no movement at the station needle. If one reads the guidelines (as on the info part of Cluster.dk etc.) one will see that a signal report of 0 does not exist. It is also possible that a station cannot be heard clearly even though their signal is good.
DX Call Awards - Do You Qualify?

Some might say that the 'CQDX' call is an art form. And like art, with its endless subtleties and delicate undertones, 'CQDX' calls come in many different shapes and sizes! While beauty, in this case, is in the ear of the beholder, it is fair to say that some CQDX calls are easier on the ear than others!
