This discussion has been moved to DX-CHAT Please feel free to continue there Thank you for your co-operation and understanding THE MANAGEMENT --- Forwarded message follows --- Date sent: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:59:38 -0400 From: Joe Reisert j...@reisert.org Subject:RE: [DX-NEWS] DXpedition calling practices To: g...@w8vi.com, n...@bresnan.net, dx-n...@njdxa.org Send reply to: j...@reisert.org Gary, I disagree in part. If the DX station starts with W1 (which they often do), the W1's haven't always gotten there fast enough. Hence by the time a W1 gets there, he's now on W2! So this plan has its faults. Also, with so many guys out of their original call area, it really gets messy. Lots of W2s in FL and many W6s are on the Right Coast. To tell you the truth, if everyone only replied when the DX station called their call (or correct parts of same), things would go lots faster. Continuously calling and calling out of turn are serious impediments to the DX station working stations faster. 73, Joe, W1JR At 03:47 PM 7/26/2011, Gary Wilburn wrote: 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, Gary W8VI -- A DXpedition operator who says JA Only and complains about calls by others in Asia is an inexperienced DXpedition operator. Generally, JAmeans 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. 73, Wayne, N7NG Jackson, Wyoming From: kf...@njdxa.org [mailto:kf...@njdxa.org] On Behalf Of BILL KIRK Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 10:35 AM To: ra9ab-m...@mail.ru; dx-n...@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-NEWS] DXpedition calling practices I agree with Michail.

It really accomplishes nothing but dividing the pileup. It accomplishes nothing more. There are better ways. The DXpeditioner should be paying attention to propagation and where/whom he is working. An important DXpedition must pay attention to the target area, the one of the three population centers in the world that is be the most difficult. Working by continents accomplishes this as well as dividing the pileup. Where you have two more-or-less equal targets you can even run two separate pileups, one in each area. Yes, it can be done, even on CW. Even Europe!
