Paul.,
I sat here listening the pileup , copc etc etc
One thing that struck me was the amount of people
who never stop calling.
The VK9 answered a VE2 at one point , I listened up in
the pileup and hundreds just started calling again.
If fact they did this no matter who the VK9 responded to ...
Did there code readers malfunction ? , perhaps they couldn't
copy him ( why then call ?? ) ... these where not isolated
incidents .. I listened to a strong N4 just call everytime the
VK9 stood by... , this behaviour was not isolated to NA but
Europe as well....
It makes me wonder if he didnt answer you , then why are these
people calling ???????
I can think of no excuse for this ...

- I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and
will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
I think I'd even simplify it more to "I will never transmit on
the DX's frequency during a split operation. Ever."
VK9C/G6AY was on both 14.025 and 18.072 today. On both bands
there was constant bedlam for at least a half an hour on their TX
frequency. All the usual stuff. UP UP UP, LID LID LID, IDIOT IDIOT
IDIOT, plus 37 guys calling them simplex, and of course the
ubiquitous tuners. They sent UP after every QSO, and the DX Cluster
spots indicated QSX UP.
They were S1-S3 and workable, but you simply couldn't hear
hardly a dit most of the time because the S9+ guys were doing the
above. This is nothing new, but it seems extremely bad today. Did
the VK9C/G6AY guy(s) do something to infuriate the hordes? The few
times they had a 30-second window of no QRM, they seemed to be good OPs.
Don't transmit on their frequency. So simple. Yet so many
do. Sigh . . .
73, Paul VE1DX
