Great words of wisdom Wayne that I wish more Dx Pedition operators
would follow. By the numbers is great if your in 1 land not so
great for the guy in 0 (zero) land. Many times by the time the DX
gets to zero land band conditions have changed. Sometimes you hear
them begin with zero but not very often. Continents and parts of
continents (west, east, central regions or coasts would make better
QSO rates especially if timed with peaked propagation openings. 73,

A DXpedition operator who says “JA Only” and complains about calls
by others in Asia is an inexperienced DXpedition operator.
Generally, “JA” means “Asia.” Further, working strictly by counties
is simply not acceptable. Most of us who have tried it won’t ever do
it again. Numbers don’t work, either. Working continents (with
flexibility) is the most effective, if you HAVE to subdivide the
pileup. There are a number of other equitable ways, as well.

I agree with Michail. Seldom, if ever, does the DXpedition call for
RA's, UA's, etc. Maybe the DXpeditions want to take notice.

Hello Charles,
Here, in UA9, from every DX-pedition we always can hear
"onlly EU" and "only JA" and sometimes we even have no chance to
work this
DX in time of good propagation
"UA9 -You are not EU!". "UA9 -You are not JA!"
Something like this :(
