It was interesting to me this morning to listen to the K1N operation attempt to 
put into their log some JA contacts.

For approximately one hour before their sunup the K1N operator was making calls 
for JA only.

The first time he tried, he did not pick up any JA.  But, I heard some JA 
calling.

The 2nd time he tried, about 10 minutes later, there was a horde of JA callers 
on and around the QSX freq of 1818.  The propagation to my QTH was very good; 
much superior to the conditions just one week ago in the CQ 160 CW.

K1N did manage to put a few JA in his log.  The operator did a good job.

For the most part, NA stations stood by and allowed the process to go forward.  
However, one station in particular, even after being asked by K1N to standby as 
he was working JA only, persisted in calling.

This is a request to KK6ZM to please listen to the instructions of the 
expedition operator.  Your behavior most likely precluded a number of JA 
stations from being logged by K1N.  This is NOT good.

73, and I hope everyone has good luck in making the grade with K1N on Topband.
