Jesus, did you really call me a sociaist?  You don't have to make 10,000 qso's as an island operator.  You don't set up your station to gain revenue from it.  They live there not just to operate radio.

I can tell who you're responding to. I don't see his posts, this is all I see...


I had enough of his drivel a long time ago and put him on ignore. You may as well argue with this guy, his response would make more common sense...


In another post you said VK9DX could make 1500 QSOs a month and make a hefty sum if even half send him 5 bucks for a LoTW upload. He may very well be making that many. According to DX Summit, he has been spotted 348 times in the past 30 days. https://www.k4hb.com/vk9dx_spots.html I'm surprised more aren't complaining about what he's doing. There's some spots from Jan & Feb at the bottom of this list that are expressing their disgust with him.

He's not spending that much time on the radio as a hobby, he's cashing in. That's not what ham radio is all about. No, I don't like what he's doing, and I'm not going to work him and send him 5 bucks. And I'm gonna come on here and bitch about it. If anyone doesn't like what I have to say, they can put me on their ignore list. If they don't have one, they can start one.

I see you are too absorbed in looking for subtle insinuations, so I'll agree to disagree with you here.  Keep up the good work.

Good luck with that!
That guy has never conceded a point in his life.  He will Post you into submission to score a point.  His endlessly long post and numerous links will kill your will to live faster than a bad marriage.

This is the only Hobby I have ever been in where a $15 fee can become so contentious!  A movie ticket is roughly $10.

I've seen a time it actually cost 10₵ for a movie ticket. Wouldn't go into a movie theater and spend my time now if it was free. Just don't care for the woke Hollyweird crowd.

 
If they had made 200K contacts then yeah I might think they were gouging but at the measly 8K+ worth of Hams that they worked it's going to be hard to get $15  out of even half of them.  A lot of the stations that made it don't even need Bouvet for ATNO so I am pretty sure they have no interest in a card.  Then you have the cheap people.  If the card money can be used to refund those 4 poor souls who stayed on the ship during the entire trip then it's worth it.

What the discussion is mostly about now is not DXpeditions, but those operating from their home and wanting payment for LoTW upload.



Agreed!  He's like a hemorrhoid on Eham!  Blocked.  What an A$$....
I have worked the VK9 and looked him up.  Definetly subsidizing his income.  I have VK9N worked and confirmed all over the place, so I'll not fuss over a card.  There is a decent operation starting in the next few days from there for those that need it.
