That is not a fair assessment INMHO.
I believe it is a question of experience, circumstances and probably a lot
of other things.
These chaps live in an overheated tent under what we may call primitive
circumstances and it is probably not so easy to think clearly, except for
getting on the air

Isn't it amazing that people actually worked DX, and sometimes made the
honor roll after years of hard work, before computers, clusters, and spots?
Did I miss something (I am getting old) where it was decreed that working
DX should be easy, lack of skill not withstanding?
There is a fundamental

It was easier before packet, clusters etc. as not everyone
was calling at he same time - the clusters have destroyed
DX-ing, and AK1A got into CQ DX Hall of Fame for
inventing it...

is a continent called Europe also! The

he only worked USA. Yes, I heard him once call
Europe only but he didn't say USA stand by

To the Operators on KP5 you gave the folks a very special XMAS present this year. You did a FANTASTIC JOB. The signals were strong and consistent each time I heard them. I believe all will applaud your efforts. If you didn't work them let's hope there will be a returned trip so others can
Sounds like their leaving.
I'm happy to have them as all time new one on 15ssb and 30cw.
Both qsos with 100w and wire.
I was amused at the cluster spots, and the zombies that followed the
QSX. I kept casting in the same fishing hole, and his ears came to me.

You know how we did..with paper logs, finding the right spot by hunting
and a lot of patience.
Looks like our push button culture has moved in on the DX scene.

How? We had a small group of maybe 6 guys, and a list of countries
(not BAND countries, just new ones overall). We had a 2M simplex
freq that we all listened to, and called each other there.
Occasionally a single jingle was used to alert a non-monitoring
member of the group.

No Urb, you didn't miss anything. It's the people that not only want but expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter that missed something.
One of the last things K3LP said before pulling the plug was he would have a
lot to tell once he got back. As he was going QRT he was saying they're
standing right behind me now. and then silence.
He also asked that everyone flood their QSL managers PO box with QSLs.

I can still recall working one of the (if not the) last KP5/KP2A DXpeditions
to Desecheo... the pileups tended to be big, but I was still able to get
them on three bands.
Near the end of the DXpedition, I heard them calling CQ on 10 -- with no
takers -- early one morning. Obviously the band had
22 matches
