About 1 week ago I was in a pile for my number 215. The DX operator
first went to split operation, QSX +5. The pile dutifully followed.
After a few posts to different reflectors appeared the pile became
unmanageable and the DX operator complained that he had a 30 over nine
10 kHz wide pile and
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
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
I think some of the griping is legitimate. A straight pileup allows the
loudest and/or the most skillful ops through. By the numbers COULD allow
more DXers to get thru a huge pileup, but only if it is done well and
correctly.
I would probably have Malpelo Island in the log had he not been

I totally agree with Bruce. Regardless of the method (or no method for that
matter) used by the DX operator the outcome should depend on operator skill
and station engineering. In situations where DX operators say they are
listening from 200 to 225, how close is that to throwing a dart blind

I waited in line patiently today on 21310 for T5W - getting to number 4.
He woked loads of number 2s - then a heap of 3s then went off frequency
for

and when he finally got around to the 4s
I think beauty and discrimination is in the eye of the beholder.
Yesterday while waiting for Malpelo, he spent what seemed like hours
on 1s, 2s, 3s, and certainly 4s but when he got to the 5s, he worked 3 or
4
and then went on to 6s. The short end of the stick again.
However, I did get him the
