Excellent SSB OP this morning on 3798/3804) --- he heard AC7 and kept beating back the pileup until he heard AC7Z, then AC7ZG, then kept beating back the pileup until he completed the QSO. Many Many times "Standby Standby Standby...AC7 ONLY AC7 ONLY". After this, lots of JA's and 6's calling over the 7's (he was calling 7's only)
(and the op on CW 30m last night was superb -- he had a high runrate, and was worked quickly. Wish he would move to 20m tonight to give that pileup a chance). 73 Don AC7ZG -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 2:57 PM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] How do we make better DXers? A few made a good point, it is up to the DX station to control the pileup. I didn't want to go down that path. But a couple of points to keep in mind: - We (the callers) are the many, they (the DXpedition operators) are the few. They are the ones who have invested the time and money in getting there and operating. We should be responsible enough to behave ourselves. Ease the burden on the few. - Frustration is caused by the belief that you will not work the DX station. Frustration breeds desperation. Imagine how much less frustration there would be if the out-of-turn callers just kept quiet and let the DX operator work someone "in the clear". The rate will go up, as will the hope of everyone else in the pileup. Just because WX9QRO calls overtop of everyone, and in frustration and/or desperation, the DX operator works him to "get him out of the way" does NOT make it right, and does NOT mean that we have to follow that example. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
