When Topband conditions are good, it is easy to get enthralled by working
stations via the trans-Atlantic path.
This is a reminder to not ignore stations to the South! Every year, there are
many South American stations who struggle to get noticed by North America and
European stations. We hear many of them from our Northern South America
location in Curacao, calling CQ and not receiving answers.
Also, after a dozen years operating as PJ2T in this contest, we find the first
few hours very frustrating. North Americans are 'feeding on" other North
Americans. Europeans are similarly "feeding upon" other Europeans. Europe, in
particular, is loud at PJ2T in the first few hours, but breaking their pileups
has proven impossible.
Kindly feed the Southern stations this weekend!
