[TowerTalk] DX Antenna, power, rig, skill, or attitude

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Some of the worst antennas on the market have been used to work a lot of DX.

Some stations running QRO with huge signals can be heard calling and 
calling and calling. I've heard, on a couple of occasions, the DX 
station telling them to stop calling as they will never put them in the 
log book. OTOH I've heard them give reports to stations they could 
barely hear.

Knowing when and how to call is paramount.  A station with a GOOD 
antenna, power, and skill (and good manners) is going to win, but one 
with skill  a mediocre antenna, that can be heard will do surprisingly 
well.
