Oh how true Zack. I've been stewing about the following "worst case"
example ever since it happened. But I'll try to be forgiving, and
assume that the operator was totally inexperienced, and lacked any
knowledge of propagation. However, I wish the DXpedition leaders had
recognized that, and had provided him with some guidance!
It was the most recent BS7H operation, at dawn W5 local time.
Propagation was superb on 40M right at our sunrise, and BS7H was
booming in, a genuine 59 on 40SSB into Austin. The Chinese op worked
JAs nonstop for about two hours straight through NA sunrise. I don't
think I have ever been so frustrated in my DXing career.
