It is a logical fact to DO NOT shout your callsign (or even just your suffix)
when a QSO is already in progress or when another suffix is asked. It is a
nonsense and an egocentric behavior. I think the international

The bigger question is: what can we do constructively to improve things?
I say don't spot interesting stuff that already has a self-sustaining
pileup.
People who don't care to listen to the DX or can't hear the DX probably
can't find the DX on their own anyway.
It ain't gonna change. That's how it's been for the 25 years I've been
licensed. You can only learn to be a better LISTENER and work around
it. Sorry.

While that's nice of them, I don't think it's necessary.
The little pistol's #1 weapon in the pileups is to act like they're a big
gun.

I have plenty of Q's (80 through 10) since I was licensed in the
mid-1980s, but still need one for my favorite band -- 18 mHz. I'll be
in there looking. My amp hasn't been hooked up for over 2 years, and I
don't intend to do so now (I'll get it in line for P5, though).
So, barefoot it is.
