[CQ-Contest] Sanctuary

[Tony Osman]

Hans,

I heard a similar instance with a VE6 on 20m. I needed the mult, but the 
pileup was so unruly.  Then about an hour later, I saw him spotted on 
160m and went there - nice and quiet with a good signal, so had the qso 
quickly into the log (that was my only qso on 160m!). I think he moved 
there just to get out of the fray.

I do think that in SS in particular, some of the operators in the rarer 
sections are scared off by the huge pileups that occur. Especially if 
the station in the section is not as skilled in handling high speed 
pileups.  I had single qso/section in VY1, PR and VI.  All these three 
were seasoned contesters.  I hate to think what would happen if a newly 
licensed operator came on the air from VY1!!

Hope that fellow comes back.”
