or listen to the pile he is working, where is he actually listening?,
is he answering the people on the same freq all the time? or is he
drifting up or down the pile some? see to listen and learn where he is
listening and or moving and make the next expected place be the place
you transmit. DUH? running a vertical and barefoot been doing this since
1975 and 99% of the time I get them first call.

It's amazing what moving the XIT a little does for breaking the spot
pile-ups.
Sometimes it's us poor Left Coasters trying to break the Right Coast
Wall :-).
Fun weekend.

Niccceee!
It really is getting bad though like Pete says. More than once this weekend I
was able to beat the big guns with my vertical and 500w ( until the brand new
al-80b quit, then I beat them low power) by listening ( what a concept) and
timing the call or by adjusting off freq by 100 hz.
Basic operating skills have been/are being lost...most likely do (in my
opinion) to all of the assisted tools out there. Point, click, call. It's that
simple right??? No need to LISTEN.

It's to make up for all the times when they are running and don't send their
call. Those times must be made up for in pileups to even out the karma. :)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Why?
Can someone explain to me why everyone calls all the time? It doesn't
matter if the other station is listening, sending an exchange, trying to
get a call. How many W# call when the DX sends N1?
This is just getting worse and worse. In CQWW I heard a DX station
having to send the exchange three and 4 times in a row to get the pileup
to slow to the point where the guy he's working could hear it!
Why?
Pete, W1RM
