Good Day All,
The superlative performance being executed currently on 160-meters by the TX5K
expedition is, I feel, a tribute to the operators' style of:
(A) Sending their call sign REPEATEDLY after nearly each transmission;
(B) Separating their receive frequency from their transmitting frequency by a
good 12-KHz;
(D) Announcing their listening frequency REPEATEDLY so as to leave no room for
any doubt whatsoever, and,
(E) Engaging in a constant & REASONABLE CW SENDING---not too fast, not too
slow---and NOT hitting any function key that instantaneously sends
"...599-73-TX5K-QRZ" at some 50 WPM, as seems to be all the vogue these days.
Their proven successful pile-up technique in these ways should serve as a
benchmark for future DX-peditions to pattern themselves after, IMHO...
