> Interesting question Jim. Other than the buzz of seeing your call in red in the 'You have been spotted' box followed by a wall of noise, I've always felt it to be a bit of a pain. Trouble is everyone calls pretty much on the same frequency and unlike running a dxpedition you don't normally have the choice of going split to spread them out. On a couple of occasions this weekend when I had a pile-up 'zero beat' one station would call very slightly off and was immediately readable; was this fortuitous or a clever use of the XIT?

Bung in the attenuator, back off the RF gain as much as possible and 
perhaps turn off the AGC. Helps to separate them a lot. Then enjoy the 
challenge of the pileup. It's a lot better than Morserunner!
