That's a very good point. I was calling in one very large pileup a few years ago. It was an SSB pileup - a rare occurrance for me, but at the time I suspected this particular operation would be the last for many years from that country, and he wasn't working CW at all. Someone taped or digitally recorded me calling and started playing it back on the DX frequency. I was rather upset. Maybe that's what I get for working SSB. :-) On CW it would even be more difficult to tell if the offending station was in fact the one whose callsign was being sent. But even on SSB, it isn't a sure thing, as in above example. 73, Zack W9SZ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [email protected] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
