Re: [DX-CHAT] Statistically bad pileup behavior

2011-07-26 Thread DAVE WHITE
That's an interesting mail, Jim.  It regularly occurs to me that bad pileup behaviour seems to be statistically worse when there's propagation from the DXpedition to a certain part of Southern Europe (unfortunately about 23.9 hours per day all bands). I'm not suggesting that *all* people

I Mostly agree, BUT best way to eliminate most of the heavy pile-up problems is to SPREAD it larger as possible i.e. CW - TX on .025 RX UP - higher as possible usse the jump lsn .032 then .044 then 059 back etc. its verry bad when DX usse so called DRIVE move step by step UP
