A huge pileup doesnt faze me a bit..... its when very clearly the
DX sends  " W6WRT 599 " and then 100's or thousands start
calling again while you try to give the DX his report.....

Packet may help them find the pileup, but it wont prevent
poor operators from giving ill timed, incessant calls.....
