Will this help?
If a DXpedition station gave out serial numbers, incrementing for
each QSO (like some contests ), would that retard pirates? A pirate
could give out serial numbers, too, but could he ever get so close
in sequence to the real DX to make confusion? Also, would serial
numbers on the incoming QSL card requests make hand log searching easier?
I could see that slowing a pileup down to a crawl, to be perfectly
honest -- and to what end? Is call pirating really a major problem
for DXpeditions? It might make QSLing a tad easier, but I think
trying to get everyone to understand what's being done might be an
exercise in futility, and if you think pileups are bad NOW, I'd hate
to see what would happen with serial numbers.
In this age of online logs for major DXpeditions, if I don't see my
call show up within 2 or 3 days of a QSO on a needed band I just make
another Q.
