Topband: T30RH & Pile-Up Decorum

[John Langdon]

I have noticed that some Topband operators have adopted a new program for
working DX.  It goes something like "locate the DX stations transmitting
frequency, then locate the frequency he is listening on. Then send your call
sign 3-5 times, pause and listen. If you do not hear your call sign coming
back to you, repeat until you do."   

I have observed stations in my region with much better receiving arrays than
I have doing this so often that it cannot be anything other than
intentional. 

This is a new problem over and above the people who call when they are
obviously not hearing the DX at all.

Good Day All,

This morning as I was monitoring the assembled multitude attempting to
contact T30RH, it really struck me as to how folks like Jacek must have the
patience of Job to endure what they do in the mounting of such an
effort......
