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.

generally stay put until someone spots the new frequency, at which point the
DX station QSYs again.

Here's hoping a lot of these troublemakers will be going to work
tomorrow morning <grin>.

After 5 hours on-and-off today I just gave up, visited a friend and
helped out the XYL.

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.

from somewhere. US DXers gorged on KP5 not too long ago; what our JA friends
heard was "the east coast wall".
