[WT-support] DXpedition version mixed HF and VHF operation

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Well for the ARRL Field Day contest, Win-Test supports logging on every band
from 1.8 MHz to 10 GHz (except for the WARC bands).  So, unless there is
some hard coded limit on the total number of bands supported, a limit that
is too much work to eliminate, I don't understand why it would be so
difficult to support all bands in DXpedition mode.

The "received exchange" doesn't really matter in DXpedition mode either,
though I guess logging and tracking the received locator is nice.  But, it's
not really required for a DXpeditioner, is it?

Changing subjects, it's clear that some of the messages being posted to this
list today aren't making it through the ARRL.NET forwarding service, or they
are being severely delayed.  I just wonder if anyone else noticed this?  I
seem some messages in the web
archive<http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-August/date.html>that
never showed up in my email inbox, for some reason.  I looked in my
Spam folder too.

73,
