[DXR] By the numbers
Hi, One of my only comments isIt depends on the Dx station and how comfortable he or she is working the mass multitudes...We are not all like OH2BH...some of us TRY to be equal in the treatment of all...of if we work 25 per call area then we are trying to be as equal to everyone as we can.. I wished WE in the radio community would not be so vocal in our condemming someone who does not have the talents that others do. And try to undrerstand that he or she might be doing the best that they can...We all have to start somewhere.. When I go on an expedition...I do the things that I feel comfortable with...I know that I can not please everyone..so I try to please me..If I do my best to work as many as I can...then NO one should complain. If I descide to work a NET...Blasphemy.. then I will...it is my choice..you do not have to work me...it will not hurt my feelings... I made someone the net happy and that makes my day... Even if we all were someone like Marty...someone would still complain because they did not get worked or in the log...not thinking that we can NOT work them all.. or we did not work the masses as THEY think we should...so it will never end... 73, Ed NT4TT AH2BE/KH9/KH0 HL9MM 8P9GI KB6DAW/KH2/KH9/KH6 HZ1AB
[DXR] By the Numbers
Quit your griping and just go do it. I've seen and heard them all. Pileups, by the Numbers, third party, Nets or Whatever. Your just griping because they didn't pick you up the first time you called. To quote a famous NYC Mayor, "Patience and fortitude gets the job done." The thing that gripes me the most is the blustering, inconsiderate, loudmouth, overbearing so-called Hams the bugger up the frequency when a DX station is trying to make as many contacts as he can. Only to be overridden but these jerks. Just remember, they are try a whole lot harder than you are. My advice to you is, " you don't like the way the DX station is doing it. YOU go out there and try it just once. Then come back and tell us all about "Either that or try to help the guy as best as you can. Which may require you to just keep you mouth shut. Even the very worst DX station does an adequate job or you wouldn't have anything to gripe about. To every DXpeditioner - Thank you for being there for me! 73, John - KD2NL

Why start with W1's when the propagation favors W6 land? I am a number 1 but am located in W4 land. Some call areas only have a rather small time window to communicate with certain parts of the world. Skillful DX operators are aware of this and call the areas in order of optimum conditions. Old timers will remember Lloyd & Iris Colvin who operated from all over creation. They never started with #1 and went up in sequence; instead they called for areas in order to give them a chance to use the conditions to best advantage. No matter what the technique there will always be some who complain that they have been slighted. 73 Norm K1AA
