It sure seems to go a lot smoother when the guys in the pileup have the
confidence that they will have a chance. Listening to him bounce back and
forth meant that even if I didn't get him in a particular segment, there
would be another shortly.
I think a lot of pileup misbehavior stems from the panicky feeling that
"if not now, then never." A smoothie like Aki can calm the thundering
masses just by the power of competence. Awesome!
What a good month for DX! Four New Ones since the first of March!
