I saw some pretty unruly pileups to the likes I had not seen in many years, 
especially when the J35 showed up with 15 minutes to go
to the end on 15 meters. These weren't newbies either.

I dropped my call once in the clear but he had already went QRT by then.

The pileup on GU0SUP was also quite rude. Stations weren't letting Phil 
complete the contacts. I sent my call one time in the clear
and made the contact. Others just kept calling.

73, Don

Three times this weekend, I had guys calling on top of the DX when I was trying 
to hear if he confirmed my report.

PLEASE PLEASE let the QSO in progress F I N I S H before dumping your call in.

I used to think RTTY operators were polite.  Now they're just like the rest of 
the a-holes out there.
