I had the same experience as W1AW/4 from KY. I have no pileup experience, 
unless 2-3, in a contest, is considered a pileup? I had few, if any 
problems, just signing "UP", without being specific. Only a few instances 
where it was necessary to specify a particular area, and when I did, those 
not in that area stopped calling. My only concern were the continuous 
request for "when are you going to be on", referring to another band. I 
equate this to the "DX hogs" that insist on working them on every band and 
mode, without considering that another station could need them as a "new 
one"? I still believe that any scoreboard should not be public information, 
until the "event" is completely finished?
Regardless, I had fun, and look forward to the late July, early August 
session, which I plan on concentrating on WARC bands.
