Tons of ops calling KH7Z when they can't see them. I assume this only

It's not "big honker antennas" -- the expedition is limited to verticals
by Fish and Wildlife. It's more likely their lack of noise (the only
that can be on the island is THEIRS) -- and the relatively high noise
levels of the stations trying to work them.
So KH7Z will put them in
the queue and try to process them taking up the limited slots they are
using right now (2 from what I've seen). IMHO the solution to this is
pretty simple....when you turn on Hound or switch bands you should be
PREVENTED FROM TRANSMITTING UNTIL YOU GET CQ FRO THE DX STATION. So,
you would be required to double-click on a CQ to allow transmitting.
I've worked them on three bands, the first time monitoring for at least
an hour and not seeing their CQ. I came to the conclusion that they were
not calling CQ, so I double clicked on one of their transmissions and
started calling them. After three calls, I had a QSO in the log. I did
the same for the two other QSOs.
I've been concentrating on studying and teaching hams how to find and
kill receive noise. My most recent efforts are here. One is text, the
other is the slide show for talks I've done at ham events.

If you find yourself giving much weaker (more negative) signal reports
than you receive, it's likely that noise is a problem for you, and that
finding and killing it will do more for your on-air success than
anything else you try.
