[RTTY] 9M0L 18103 up

[Dave Barr]

One of the major reasons that stations keep calling a DXpedition station 
after they've called some else is simply the length of the DXpedition's 
transmission, which is usually  CALLSIGN 599 CALLSIGN.  If the offending 
caller starts his second call just before the DXpedition station starts 
a qso, the offending caller will never hear that the DXpedition station 
has called someone because the transmission is so short.  In situations 
where the DXpedition station finds they are making multiple attempts to 
complete qsos, the solution may be for the DXpedition station to use a 
CALLSIGN CALLSIGN 599 599 CALLSIGN format.

Good hunting.

RTTY Dx ing has gotten out of hand lately...the number of well known 
stations that continue to call on top of others is growing....and many 
are on this email list.....I can almost understand a K4ABC calling if 
the DX asks for K4BCD, but why a AA5 calls when they ask for a K7 or a 
W8 calls when they ask for a WB6 is beyond me.....and it happens waaaay 
to many times to be a mistake....if everyone would just listen, and if 
you cant hear him well enough to print, don't call.....and quit trying 
to steal a qso, it wouldnt get so out of hand.....

9M0L of course, but often when a DXPedition ignores what should be an 
easy opening, it's because the pileups are too unruly. I have seen this 
more and more in recent years - the DXPedition will focus on WARC bands 
or the higher frequencies at strange hours with little propagation. It's 
just a way of reducing the chaos to manageable proportions. 73, Bill
