It was suggested here to "change the subject" and quit this bickering 
about SO2R etc.   Here I go, "how to handle a pileup"????    There are a 
lot of great rtty contesters on here and Id like to get some opinions on 
how to handle an rtty pileup.  I dont get them often but when I do its 
frustrating. I guess when I do get one its because the band condx became 
supergood or maybe I got spotted and KH6 is a wanted multiplier.  
Anyway, suddenly I get anywhere from 2 to who knows how many callers 
responding to my CQ.  All right exactly on same frequency, cant copy any 
of them.  If I do a 'qrz?'  or 'agn?',  the same ones call with the same 
result, cant copy any call or even a portion of a call.  What I do is 
just keep waiting for the one with the most patience who outlasts the 
rest and is finally alone and I go back to him.   Im wondering if there 
isnt a better way.   Any comments???
