I think it is just a cultural thing. The Italians ham like they drive.
Just kidding.

Concerning the pile-up undiscipline, unfortunetly, I must admit that I fully
agree. I do not know where this kind of "radio" behavior comes from, but it
has nothing to do with any kind of HAM spirit. Strange...

"......and has ask the big guns to hold off a bit. Now we know that will not
happen in some parts of the world but the request may help some. "
I can see right now what's going to happen when they work Europe:
When the operator says quite clearly for the fifth time "Golf Nine Alpha
Alpha Alpha five and nine", all the Italians will keep shouting their last
two for ten minutes solid on the G9's frequency, overmodulating their 3kW
amplifiers and without pausing for breath......even if they are in the log
twelve times already.
I hope I'm wrong, but experience suggests otherwise.
These guys are all pretty good operators and you'll have propagation akin to
a telephone line on most bands nearly 24 hours per day from where you live.
Don't bother takin the time off work during the first week when the big guns
will slug it out toe to toe, but you'll make it in the log easily enough
during the second week. If you wait till the band's closed to Italy,
anyway....."Whiskey eight Tango Alpha Hotel five and nine".."ITALY KILO
ITALY KILO ITALY KILO ITALY KILO ITALY KILO....."
If you're like me you concentrate on CW where there are fewer muppets....
cheers
