I could have ten receivers and if all the callers are in my skip zone I wouldn't
hear them either.
One other thing that I didn't mention, but should be obvious, although many
callers ignore it, LISTEN to instructions. (Unfortunately too many expeditions
these days fail to give them---or their callsigns---often enough, assuming I
suppose that everyone is using spotting networks to figure this out.)
Listening example: I don't remember the expedition location but do remember one
of the participants was the banquet speaker at Visalia in 2002, where he
coincidentally mentioned this very thing. He was working a pileup on 20-meter
SSB on 14.195 and announced "Listening up 5 to 10..... and 14.190". I called on
14.190 on worked him on the first call while the other thousand guys battled up
5 to 10.

But how can you figure out the pattern (or lack thereof) if you can’t find the
stations he worked?
