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.

Seldom, if ever, does the DXpedition call for RA's, UA's, etc. Maybe the DXpeditions want to take notice. 73, Bill NJ1X _____ From: M.Vasiliev <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 11:53 PM Subject: Re: [DX-NEWS] DXpedition calling practices 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!"
