[SEDXC] Interesting one heard during the ST0R pileup last night

[Tom W8JI]

I think some of the less than ideal operating techniques of some DXpedition 
ops encourages bad behavior. For example one DXpedition had a phone op who 
would spend hours barely working the west coast. His rate must have been one 
per minute.

This probably causes the rest of the world to get bored. Then from boredom 
the playing and bad behavior starts.

This listening up over a wide frequency spread also causes needless 
problems. While listening to hear where they were answering callers, I heard 
some people in a QSO get QRM'ed. They actually made plans to QRM the 
DXpedition station!!

It's really no wonder some operations create an unusual mess.

I was listening to ST0R in my left ear and listening to the pileup in my 
right ear last night.

I heard the tuner-uppers, jammers, the "UP UP" guys and other idiots on 
ST0R's frequency.

I heard the continuous-callers(how do those guys ever work anyone?) and the 
guys that call no matter who the DX calls.

But I heard a new "bird" last night I'd never heard before. To demonstrate 
I'll use my old call, WA4CUG. This guy would send "TU 5NN DE WA4CUG" 
everytime the ST0R would go back to someone. Something like this:

ST0R: K4ABC 5NN
WA4CUG: TU 5NN DE WA4CUG
ST0R: K4ABC TU QRZ
WA4CUG: TU 5NN DE WA4CUG
ST0R: N9XYZ 5NN
WA4CUG: TU 5NN DE WA4CUG
ST0R: N9XYZ TU QRZ
WA4CUG: TU 5NN DE WA4CUG
ST0R: KC4CSU 5NN
WA4CUG: TU 5NN DE WA4CUG
.
and on and on. I listened to this guy do this for 10 minutes. Amazing.

Just thought I'd share that with y'all.
