RTTY Dx ing has gotten out of hand lately...the number of well known
stations that continue to call on top of others is growing....and many
are on this email list.....I can almost understand a K4ABC calling if
the DX asks for K4BCD, but why a AA5 calls when they ask for a K7 or
a W8 calls when they ask for a WB6 is beyond me.....and it happens
waaaay to many times to be a mistake....if everyone would just
listen, and if you cant hear him well enough to print, don't
call.....and quit trying to steal a qso, it wouldnt get so out of
hand.....

REPLY:
I do not speak for 9M0L of course, but often when a DXPedition
ignores
what should be an easy opening, it's because the pileups are too
unruly.
I have seen this more and more in recent years - the DXPedition will
focus on WARC bands or the higher frequencies at strange hours with
little propagation. It's just a way of reducing the chaos to
manageable
proportions.
