Sometimes it´s so hard to find a frequency during a major
contest that it might tage 5 minutes or so do do it. Might
have to ask if the frequency is occupied at 25 - 30 spots
before getting to a place where nobody responds. Since
I know that I have a big signal (at least on a few bands) I
like to play it as safe as possible, still it will happen that
I step on somebody.
What really burns me up is the pigheaded attitude that quite
a few hams demonstrate these days, why not try to get
along nicley instead of trying to crush each other.
