>Paul., I sat here listening the pileup , copc etc etc One thing that struck me was the amount of people who never stop calling. The VK9 answered a VE2 at one point , I listened up in the pileup and hundreds just started calling again. If fact they did this no matter who the VK9 responded to ... Did there code readers malfunction ? , perhaps they couldn't copy him ( why then call ?? ) ... these where not isolated incidents .. I listened to a strong N4 just call everytime the VK9 stood by... , this behaviour was not isolated to NA but Europe as well.... It makes me wonder if he didnt answer you , then why are these people calling ??????? I can think of no excuse for this ...

Sigh . . . > > 73, Paul VE1DX Just as with any avocation, there are always a minority of power amplified, visible, and annoying bunch of assholes who have no concept of operating courtesy, dx protocols, nor common sense. I keep a log of these clowns and will never return their CQ or call to my station - whether domestically or when traveling internationally. There are, thankfully, the overwhelming majority of our brethern (or sistern) who do respect these social imperatives. Besides, if they're continually dropping their call, how would they even know if the DX station responded to them. ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
