It also takes a good bit of luck sometimes.
Those that didn't get BS7H this time may get another chance, if they don't
give up. In the meantime, they can work to improve their stations and their
operating skills. The most impact will nearly always be from improvements to
the antenna system... wise man says "$100 spent on antenna is better than
$1000 spent anywhere else".
There are no losers in this game of DXing.... only winners and those that
have not yet won. The only way to lose is not to play.

You know, following this thread is enough to turn one off DXing. The ones
that
worked BS7H are sneeringly demeaning those who didn't, criticizing their
operating, etc
No, a mix of people who worked and didn't work BS7H are sneeringly
demeaning a few VERY, VERY vocal whiners who think the BS7H guys did
something other than the very very best they could.
They don't say it in so many words, but they chalk up their inability
to work very difficult DX to the DX station's mistakes or the actions
of the masses in the pileup.
They don't understand that to get through to a rock on the other side
of the world while there are thousands and thousands of callers takes
solid preparation, a good station, and good operating skills. They
want to blame someone else for their lame station and operating
ability, and they want to do it on the cluster.
