Hi Folks, I can't comment on the current pileups because my rig is packed up for a DXpedition, But- I can't help having some thoughts. Listening splits- Is the DX station asking the pileup to call in a 30 KHz split? Or is he just saying "up", and rather than trying to figure out the listening

If that was the one on 14.045 listening 20 - 40 kHz up the signals came from the right direction. He worked USA and later only JA, not one single European station... I don't think there are any better CW-operators at KH8SI, it was real slow and he had problems getting the callsigns correct.

Excellent SSB OP this morning on 3798/3804) --- he heard AC7 and kept beating back the pileup until he heard AC7Z, then AC7ZG, then kept beating back the pileup until he completed the QSO. Many Many times Standby Standby Standby...AC7 ONLY AC7 ONLY. After this, lots of JA's and 6's calling over

Charlie, I heard you work them on 30 this morning...congrats. There has been a lot of criticism about the KH8SI team but I am sure they are doing their best under the present conditions. Yes, I've heard them working hundreds of JA's but after just listening to the 30 meter pileup this morning
