I have kind of given up on the evening SO-50 passes while Yuri is sailing the ocean blue. Nothing at all against Yuri or those working him for the rare grid square. That's what all this stuff is for. Just that I'm not going to QSO with anybody during those passes given my mini-station and (mostly) my inexperience. I'll be on during the day on weekends and listening at other times for a break in the action.

I like it that way . Its like contesting . Takes practice and skill to be able to retain call signs and be able to run with the pile up . That actually lost of fun . Its almost like been on the other side of DXpedition .

The FM birds are *far* worse than any HF pile-up I've ever heard, and I've been a Ham since 1964......

there, why would the satellites be any different? 73 John AF5CC On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 7:49 PM, Paul Stoetzer n8hm@arrl.net wrote: No. These people hear the downlink. This was a pileup situation for a rare grid. Everyone was just too impatient to let the QSO complete before calling. I was clearly called by the DX, and when I attempted to give my report, I was crushed by another station calling. Most of it did get through, in pieces. Could have used some more juice to make 100% sure that QSO was complete! There are a few of us who will just have to wait and see if we did get in the log. 73, Paul, N8HM On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 8:44 PM, Clint Bradford < clintbradford@mac.com> wrote: Are these chit-chatters taking up time?
