If you haven't heard it from over here, you can't imagine how bad the
deliberate QRM is.

I do think this DXpedition is suffering from a new (to me) low in

responding when they shouldn't, and not getting into split -- I've had
that problem and thank the people, here and elsewhere, who helped me
become a better op. But I have see what I can only interpret as
deliberate interference with K1N. I have noticed him change frequencies
by 500 Hz to get away from steady carriers, the only such on my P3, and
what was a strange, long lasting signal that had a bandwidth of 50Hz or
so and wiped him out completely at my QTH. I usually use narrow CW
bandwidths to improve the S/N, but here it is to cut out the QRM signals
that aren't well matched to his.
I have noticed one strategy which seems perverse. Send the signal report
with your initial call, in hopes he will log the call, even if you can't
read his signal. It's simple, just request a QSL later, or log him every
20 minutes into LotW and see where the matches come. Come on guys, it's
a hobby. It's not real unless you earn it and can face yourself in the
mirror afterwards.
But enough ranting.
