You obviously did not attempt to work 7O6T on RTTY. The Europeans
monopolized the few available RTTY band slots and even chased 7O6T
off RTTY many times in the last days of the DXpedition.
Quite simply, Leaderboards as currently structured encourage rampant
DX Hoggery and have no place in radiosport.

Those who couldn't make a QSO probably couldn't make a QSO on a
completely clear band anyway. There is only so much you can work with
a dipole and 100 watts.
And finally, DXing is competitive.You can be a good sport but you
don't have to put yourself at a disadvantage to make others feel
better.

I think KQ8M's first comment in response to G7VJR's editorial is
on point. Clublog's "Leaderboards" should be modified to stop
counting at 11 "band slots." 11 (or 12 if the operation works
six meters) allows a station to work the operation on each band
plus pick up QSOs on CW, Digital, and voice.
Quite frankly, in spite of falling prey to the seduction of high
leaderboard numbers a time or two myself, anyone who shows up with
more than 14 or 15 band slots is simply a DX HOG. There is simply
no excuse for such behavior.
N1DG's presentation at Dayton clearly showed the DX HOGs do not
provide increased support (contributions with QSL) relative to
the number of band slots worked ... even the "more QSOs mean more
revenue" argument falls flat.
