That's the risk, for sure. But conversely, what can a DX operation do
when their pileups are completely out of control (in a manner not of
the DX's doing)? As ops become increasingly desperate, it can only
spiral worse unless the guys at the pointy end do something. What can
they do is what I'm curious about.
With the first day of a DXPedition to a rare entity falling on a
weekend, the result is highly predictable.
Here's hoping a lot of these troublemakers will be going to work
tomorrow morning <grin>.
In "the Complete DXer", Bob W9KNI says "But sometimes, the experienced DX'er
gets into a situation where it quickly becomes obvious that there is no hope
of a QSO. And it is then the frustrated DX'er shows the world, or at least
himself, what kind of person he is.
After 5 hours on-and-off today I just gave up, visited a friend and
helped out the XYL.
search of anyone who'll listen to his latest rendition of "ain't it awful?".
After days like this, though, sometimes venting helps. I suspect BS7
and P5 will always be this way (the only things to bring everybody
out of the woodwork). It's kind of a shame that these two are
extremely difficult from NA. The only saving grace is if Navassa ever
comes up we're in the best position over here.
