Punishing all operators from a particular region because a few misbehave
just increases the frustation level and puts more QRM on the DX frequency.

Thanks for us, europeans. I guess that with BS7H now on, we'd better be prepared to listen to the US crybabies.

That's the risk, for sure. But conversely, what can a DX operation do when their pileups are completely out of control

I don't agree on this point: Under the QRM, what i heard yesterday was a rather nicely controled pileup. The op (I8NHJ, the spotters said) seemed to work easily and with a good rythm.

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

Well at 19Z the propagation was down, certainly closed for the major part of Europe. I could still hear them 53 and listened to them and the pileup while eating a pizza (TNX YL) in front of the radio. I suddenly heard a 59 from the pileup, jumped in and got them !

It was my lucky day, beacuse i have to admit that i had hard times, a few hours before, fo find the QSX between 200 and 230 ! So i didn't call that much, maybe 10 times ?

It's kind of a shame that these two are extremely difficult from NA.

It's a shame that N8S was so difficult from EU etc etc..
