 It is just as bad even when the DX is working split
 and listening up 5-15Kc. He will clearly call a
 particular station, and if you tune up the listening
 spread, you will hear hundreds of stations still
 calling even though the DX is on a particuar
 listening freq and wanting only that call. How
 ignorant is that. Shame on anyone doing that stupid
 stunt, and since you are giving your call, everyone
 knows who you are that are doing it..

  JD1BMH had a nice signal on 80 meters this morning
 and a large NA 
  pile-up. I listened to the JD and the pile-up and
 I'm getting more 
  concerned about a habit that I see from many hams
 -- including some 
  well known DX'ers. Regardless of what station the
 DX calls, almost 
  everyone keeps calling. If a guy answers W9F? and
 your call is 
  N4CCdon't transmit! (I used my call so I
 wouldn't offend anyone, 
  but it applies to everyone.) Can we not exercise a
 bit of patience 
  and courtesy on the bands any more? This practice
 seems especially 
  bad in big pile-ups. I have never seen it help
 anyone get through, 
  either. It just delays everyone while the DX asks
 for repeats 
  because of the QRM. Let's do better in 2008.
 Busting a big pile-up 
  can be fun -- but only if everyone remains
 courteous in the 
  process. HNY and 73 de Greg-N4CC (stepping off
 soap box)

[DX-CHAT] Extra Class Video

2008-01-02 Thread RUSSELL KELLAM JR
First, Happy New Year  Gud DX to all!! This 73 year old  fart has finally 
decided to upgrade to Extra Class. I have been an unwashed General since 
1988 and am sick and tired of  reading about the 12  13 year olds getting 
one. I have the study materials and audio CD's from Gordon West but I read 
somewhere that there are video tapes/CD's available to supplement the 
manuals. Can anyone point me to them. Tnx  73 Russ W4UBC(333 confirmed on 
current DXCC list).
