Quit your griping and just go do it. I've seen and heard them all. Pileups, by the Numbers, third party, Nets or Whatever. Your just griping because they didn't pickĀ  you up the first time you called. To quote a famous NYC Mayor, "Patience and fortitude gets the job done." The thing that

I think some of the griping is legitimate. A straight pileup allows the loudest and/or the most skillful ops through. By the numbers COULD allow more DXers to get thru a huge pileup, but only if it is done well and correctly. I would probably have Malpelo Island in the log had he not been

Or 'by call area' as it's often referred to... I think the dx op is the only benefactor in this scenario, and even then only if it doesn't backfire on him/her. I know that on the rare ocassions I get involved (from the pileup end) in a 'call area' pileup, when I work him/her it's as if I

A straight pileup allows the loudest and/or the most skillful ops through. I don't understand the issue; the above is the essence of DXing isn't it? Shouldn't the loudest and/or the strongest prevail? I can think of absolutely no reason to deprive a well engineered station with a skillful

I totally agree with Bruce. Regardless of the method (or no method for that matter) used by the DX operator the outcome should depend on operator skill and station engineering. In situations where DX operators say they are listening from 200 to 225, how close is that to throwing a dart blind
