Things will settle down give it a few days
actually they are smart working the JA, EUs first give them something upfront and propagation will be even better for us This morning I was copying BS7H 579 short path here in Missouri its only gonna get better Peter Dougherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I am not by any means a newcomer to DX, but THIS is worse than ever >-- and no one can blame the US lids for it!!! Call by numbers is >fine -- as long as WE can hear what numbers the DX is calling!!. > >Shame on the world's hams!! I Couldn't agree more. I was listening all day on both CW and SSB and the degree of insanity I heard was unlike anything I've ever heard anywhere, ever. I've never operated on CB but could it have been any worse than 14185 was today? Time for a good Rettysnitching, I say. I really don't understand what it is with (southern) European hams' attitudes. If you believe any of the propagation prediction programs, Europe generally has propagation to BS7 24 hours a day on at least one band, often as many as 5 or 6 bands are good simultaneously, so if the Scarborough guys are QRV chances are EU DXers will get a much better shot at them than NA will. Serious European DXers will likely get them on several bands and modes. Yet in the 3 hour window for NA, these clowns won't stand by or stop bitching on the DX frequency. On the other hand, it would also be nice if the team would call NA for a few hours at a time; seemed like it was JA and EU day all day long. I'm sure that will change in the next day or two, so I'm not too worried. Yet . I don't know what the answer is; perhaps the DX operators once in a while should have a listen to their TX frequency and administer the clue bat when things get bad. Maybe along the lines of "since you are so badly behaved, no more Europe for the next 12 hours," and hold to it.
