Hi Jim.best explanation so far. I wondered why the split info

The automated posts from several stations, such as W3LPL, are using their Skimmersetups toautomaticallypost spots to the RBN and the Cluster based on CQ calls received.I believe the software in use isdesigned to pick up the call, but not neccesarily otherinformation.Which proves that the astute
We can't blame skimmer for these problems. It might exacerbate them but

I think it's a combination of some not knowing what there are doing

There was an article in the latest QST that spoke to this. I hope

Hi all,
Unfortunately I don't have the QST here to read the article.
A lot of chances to work a DX or DX-pedition are ruined by hams that
don't listen before they TX.
It's happening in CW and all the other modes.

It's astonishing (to me at least) that so few callers in pileups actually
try to listen to the pileup and figure where the DX is listening.
I thought the trick was as old as the hills: DX in the left ear, pileup in
the right ear with a slightly wider filter, apply
I haven't worked many Asian stations recently.
Yep.
I was lucky to get the last VU7 and BS7 operations when there was a little
sunspot activity (not much).
I couldn't get the BS7. I heard them for a grand total of 1/2 hour on SSB

Danhuman nature ensures that there will be cheaters in any endeavor;

I know... it's just a particularly silly context for cheating. If you take a

Where do you get one of those UP machines that seems to be needed to work
E44M?
Do you get it on e-bay?
