Agreed...by the numbers is great, if you take 5 min of 1's , 5, of 2's , etc.
That rarely happens, and indeed it sucks if you're not in 1 or 2 land.
To make numbers work, use a random starting number, 0-9
That however is what makes the hunt so
interesting...and frustrating sometimes!

Great words of wisdom Wayne that I wish more Dx
Pedition operators would follow. By the
numbers is great if your in 1 land not so
great for the guy in 0 (zero) land. Many times
by the time the DX gets to zero land band
conditions have changed. Sometimes you hear
them begin with zero but not very often.
Continents and parts of continents (west, east,
central regions or coasts would make better QSO
rates especially if timed with peaked propagation openings. 73, Gary W8VI

A DXpedition operator who says JA Only and
complains about calls by others in Asia is an
inexperienced DXpedition operator. Generally,
JA means Asia. Further, working strictly by
counties is simply not acceptable. Most of us
who have tried it wont ever do it again.
Numbers dont work, either. Working continents
(with flexibility) is the most effective, if
you HAVE to subdivide the pileup. There are a
number of other equitable ways, as well.

I agree with Michail. Seldom, if ever, does the
DXpedition call for RA's, UA's, etc. Maybe the DXpeditions want to take notice.

Hello Charles,
Here, in UA9, from every DX-pedition we always can hear
"onlly EU" and "only JA" and sometimes we even have no chance to work this
DX in time of good propagation
"UA9 -You are not EU!". "UA9 -You are not JA!"
Something like this :(
