I believe 3Y0PI and a few others, by trying to follow the propagation paths,
would work USA in the order 1-2-3-4-8-9-0-5-7-6. Seemed pretty successful
for them.
There have been operations especially from the Pacific that completely
ignored propagation. They'd have paths to USA and JA at the same time on the
low bands. They would lose propagation to USA before they would lose JA.
But they would continue to work almost exclusively JA's during the time they
had prop to USA. They got a lot of people upset.
I have heard other DXpeditions go by continents - NA, SA, Asia, VK/ZL, parts
of EU, etc. They would not neglect the rest of Asia just to work JA's. These
ops seemed to make a whole lot more people happier.
But I doubt it is even possible to make everyone happy.
