Europe is a big place too !! hi By the time all Italians,Spanish,French etc have been worked often the band is closed in Scandinavia !!
People tend to forget that there is a different world up here in the Aurar-zone 73 Rag LA5HE Emne: Re: [DX-NEWS] Best Practices for DXpedition Operating Very true Mike, The United States is a big place too....too often it's "East Coast" and "West Coast".... forgetting everything in between. The other problem is that most DX stations always start with "1's". Living in the 9th district....... A month or so ago there was a DX station on from Africa. He was quite loud in W9. He was also loud in EU. He probably had propagation to EU for two or three times the number of hours than to NA. Both the Midwest and East Coast were calling but couldn't break through the EU pile-up. After quite a while a few East Coast stations made it through. Then the DX station switched to US call districts...1s,2s,3s,4s. Of course this made EU ops angry...and the cluster comments started right away. He didn't work just 5 or 10 per district....he worked each district until there were no stations left in that district. "Any more 1s......any more 1s? Please any more 1s?" He worked 1s for 35 minutes.... By this time the West Coast was hearing him quite well...it was over 90 minutes later. Of course a few West Coast stations called out of turn. Then it was "standing by for West Coast only". Another hour elapsed, the pile-up got nasty and by the time he got to 9's and 0's propagation was gone. Good thing I didn't need him and was occupied doing other things in the shack. And of course he never stood by for SA, Caribbean...all of which were copying him too. Call districts is a bad idea anyway....work the propagation not the numbers.
