I know that there's any consolation, but here in Europe is exactly the same.

Hoi Paul,
Last weekend i heard the same "selfishness" on this site off the ocean. I special event station was activating a lighthouse with a special /p call, but he couldn't come thru on SO-50/AO-85. Some stupid stations didn't even listen, just calling and calling cq, while others are trying to finish a contact. And they just need to make a contact on EVERY pass with the same stations, * times/day, rather then having a new square/station/dxcc/special event in the log. Why? To have 1000 contacts in the logbook, but only with 5 or so different stations? I don't understand what's the fun for them,on doing something like that.
So don't worry, it happens also on EU passes,hi.
Best 73's

At some point, naming names is required:
K4FEG is now on his third QSO for the pass, and fifth overall on FO-29.
Such selfishness is a poor reflection on a person's character.

One well-known satellite operator has now been heard working them four times over two FO-29 passes. This is not necessary and reduces the opportunity for others to work them, especially those on the fringe of coverage.
DXpedition operators frown upon excessive dupes. Let's try to refrain from working them more than once!
