[Mldxcc] SS/ssb ONE frustration

[Dana]

Learning how easy it is to create a new section, I was considering proposing
a southwest Placer section.  If properly drawn, I could get 100% of the hams
to concur (since they would all be me).

de K6iii,

(a commentary)
Well, I am a bit frustrated re sweeping in SS...  I used to be able to do
that from time-to-time but lately with the ON sections being split up into
four sections,  I have not ever found a ONE section in the run mode.  I only
do part-time, H-n-P type of ops, here.  And I run UNLIMITED so I can make
and use spotting networks.  I watched for those new ON sections so I can
pounce on em.  Generally, speaking, I join SS with a goal of sweeping in
mind.  I am disappointed when I get so close (like this past weekend) and
come up 2 sections missing (ONE & AR).  AR???  How can I miss AR?  Well, I
did hear a couple of em but they were H-n-P ops like me so didn't catch em.

So, are there any really active, dedicated ONE section ops?  Yes, I see
several of our group have successfully achieved the SWEEP, so I know that at
least one ONE was on.  Maybe the gung-ho SS ops back east will mount a ONE
DXpedition to satisfy the frustrated deserving (hope springs eternal)!  Hey,
on the bright side, I did work two NT stations and even got a QC in 40m
pile-up!

OK... "Get over it", you say!  Well, yes, its only a hobby but then,
everyone (I assume) likes to achieve their goals, be they short or long
term.
