This type of behaviour is nothing new. On any band when K1N sends an
listening area request there are many stations ignoring it. Yes single out
the perpetrators but don't restrict it to a single station. The list of
stations calling out of turn would fill pages and pages. Look at some of my
spots where I have displayed the call signs that I monitored ignoring K1N's
instructions. Some email me and say sorry I didn't hear. Well if you can't
hear then don't call. This problem will not be fixed easily if ever.

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.
