[CQ-Contest] Why?

[Peter Chamalian W1RM]

Going split, using XIT et al is great but it only works if you can hear the station you're calling which is often difficult given the din of callers right on top of him!  This is not the solution to the problem -- the real solution is in the behavior of the ops in the pileup.

or listen to the pile he is working,  where is he actually listening?, is he answering the people on the same freq all the time? or is he drifting up or down the pile some? see to listen and learn where he is listening and or moving and make the next expected place be the place you transmit. DUH? running a vertical and barefoot been doing this since
1975 and 99% of the time I get them first call.
