I understand and i appreciate it when they transmit in Extra and listen in the General. Much of any fault is with the lids in the General portion who do not seem to be able to act civilized and listen before piling on. Not everyone is able to operate with a beam or a gallon or more. We use what is available.
I have the book, just have not figured out how to absorb the material by putting it under my pillow. Hi
Hense it is all part of the HOBBY. Like W5RH says "It is a journey, not a destination. "
I have also sensed the frustration on the part of the DX stations as well.

Scott, the reason they are usually in the Extra Portion of the Band is to try to get away from the General Class KC Police. It does not work well, but it is all they can do. It you will notice, they usually listen in the General Portion of the Band where you can transmit. Anyone can listen in the Extra portion of the band and they will always work split. Most DXpeditions will do this to try to work as many as possible. They will try to work EU and JA when the band is open because it is not open much. You will appreciate why when a rare one is on in the Indian ocean and the reverse occurs and they send NA only. If you don't have a beam and an amp, it is not their fault and they can't do anything about it. If you choose to work QRP with a Buddy Pole, you are building your own casket and no one else can do much for you. If you envy those with an EXTRA license, you know where to buy the book and how to read. You don't even need to know code because we have NO code licensing.

That’s why it’s called incentive licensing

Ah yes in the extra class portion of the band. They seem to have an allergy to the general portions. I have heard them on 15, 20, and 40. All in the extra. On 10 when l have heard them it is a lidfest or they are only listening for EU or JA.
If i get them fine otherwise I will listen elsewhere maybe the South American islands or lighthouses.
