Some never do.

When I was in the Galapagos in September 2002, I got on 30 meter CW after the
RTTY contest was over (after dinner).  I ran for a few hours sending "up 1" but
the pileup was big.  Most of the guys I worked were up 2.  I worked 400
stations in 3 hours, so it wasn't like there were no callers up there.  But it
was amazing the number of guys who kept calling up 1 even though I didn't work
ANYONE there.
