his sunrise was approaching.
Then a station started calling and calling, usually while the V55V was calling.
Often starting to call while the CQ was in progress. This has to be blind calling.
causing QRM & preventing others from making the contact. Please do not call
unless you are copying the DX station.

I see many posters complaining about bad condx.
I worked nearly every station I heard, including
many east coast stations, using only 100W to a
vertical. Big surprise was V55V with a very
solid signal 10,000 miles from the left coast.
That's a 48 point QSO. I have noticed on other
bands that there seems to be a pipeline to V5,
I guess I can add 160 meters to the list.
No blind calling here. I was able to raise him
with only a few calls. Condx seemed pretty good
here. I put up a low dipole for the contest,
but it didn't hear any better than the vertical
this time. It was also interesting that the
difference in S meter reading between antennas
varied from 5 to 20 dB, the vertical being stronger.
