[Mldxcc] [NCCC] ST2AR (Sudan) on 10.105 MHz at 0040 UTC

[John Miller]

Yea..it was 100 watts........not 400.  Worked him at 0400 and didn't clear my "mental cache" before typing.  : >)

That's why I was impressed -- running only my K3 barefoot, and Robert picked me out of the pileup on the first call.

He's a very impressive operator.  And I admire his pile-up management philosophy too:

"I refused to work a number of stations for consistently and deliberately breaking into the existing QSO, or calling out of their turn, when a specific geographical area has been requested to come forward.  I will continue doing so!  I very much understand when people make mistakes, because we all make them.  But when a station continues with the malpractice, even after being asked to stop, then there is no excuse for such behavior.  You stand a far better chance of making it into the log by respecting the rules!"
