Ideally I guess we should just be philosophical about it!! Seeing as N8S
hasn't even been heard here, I can only say "there's always next time"!!
I'm always happy to get a new one, but there is no point wailing and
gnashing teeth if you miss them - there will be other expeditions...
hopefully when the solar cycle improves.... I can't really complain - 236
DXCC entities in a little under 2 years, 164 of them on RTTY... not a bad
return for a small station way down on the Southern end of Africa! Now if I
had a bigger station.. (dream on dreamer!)
Reminds me of something Chris ZS6EZ once said to me - "DXing is the
longest-running contest around!"
To those (like me) who have not got N8S - better luck next time! Don't blame
the ops - if it wasn't for them NO-ONE would get a new one!!

it's the same thing
If your propagation is good, and you work them, 'Great bunch of Ops'.
If your location and conditions are not advantageous, 'Poor ops, no
understanding of Propagation, why only work (insert prefix here)'.
Frustration will affect some part of our global ham fraternity, each
dxpediton.
Remember:
"there's no crying in Baseball, and theirs no whining in DXing"
