George,

Question.  When running a dxpedition pileup in split why are you clicking on 
the band map?  Wouldn't it be better to just type in the call heard in SSB and 
CW?  Or, if in CW click on the decoded call in the Rttyrite window?

It seems odd that if you're running a pileup that you would depend upon a call, 
other than your own, to be spotted on the band map so you can click on it.  
Most skimmer spots are generated by stations calling CQ or TEST.  Some skimmers 
are fooled into spotting a call from a station answering a CQ, but that is in 
the minority.  Seems to me that if you are only working those stations in your 
pile up that have been spotted to your band map the pile up is "big" because 
your rate is too slow to pare it down.
