I have noticed that some Topband operators have adopted a new program for working DX. It goes something like "locate the DX stations transmitting frequency, then locate the frequency he is listening on. Then send your call sign 3-5 times, pause and listen. If you do not hear your call sign coming back to you, repeat until you do."
I have observed stations in my region with much better receiving arrays than I have doing this so often that it cannot be anything other than intentional. This is a new problem over and above the people who call when they are obviously not hearing the DX at all. 73 John N5CQ -----Original Message----- From: topband-boun...@contesting.com [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Diane & Edward Swynar Sent: Monday, March 14, 2011 7:58 AM To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: T30RH & Pile-Up Decorum Good Day All, This morning as I was monitoring the assembled multitude attempting to contact T30RH, it really struck me as to how folks like Jacek must have the patience of Job to endure what they do in the mounting of such an effort...... _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
