- Can someone explain the logic behind constant calling when the station you're calling clearly isn't calling you or anything like your call? Pete, W1RM W1RM@Comcast.net _______________________________

- Several reasons: 1. You can't copy well enough to know that they aren't calling you 2. Related to #1, maybe if you call enough you will end up in the on-line log anyways 3. Unfortunately sometimes th

- Pete, Of course constant calling is irritating and generally bad operating practice. As DX, I have had stations calling me when I have clearly stood by for a different station. If the station calling

- Pete, there is no logic. I believe there are at least 3 schools of thought, though: 1- The constant caller isn't paying attention to what the DX is saying (or sending), they're only listening for the

- That tactic of pileup breaking started quite a while ago from certain areas across the pond. These lids will find who you are attempting to work and just pile on their callsigns. I wish more DX wou

- LU8DPM needs a receive antenna. He was LOUD in NorCal most of the evening, but couldn't hear multiple callers (including me -- I need LU on 160). And just before his sunrise peak, he went QRT. Duh! O
