I got on and worked several pages of DX mostly cross band.
The most serious problem I noted was you never know who is working who. By
that I mean say CN2R is listening on 7254 and W4XX calls on that frequency
and replies 59205. Is he really working CN2R or another DX station. I
noticed on Saturday nite that CN2R was asking "are you calling me?"
Most serious contestants have gotten that "worked before" after a few
contacts from a Dx station.
I decided to give their call quickly without phonetics then the call I was
using at the club (W4BCV). One Italian replied "finally one I know that is
working me".
I also noted G6PZ was using their newly allocated band and working simplex
on 7153.
