As of tonight we have three DXPeditions that have fired up. In two days 
if all goes as planned 5X3C Uganda will be fired up giving us four big 
DXPeditions active at the same time.....7P8, 9G, XR0 and 5X.

Can this get confusing on the bands? Heck yea!! And there will be 
confusion. You will see incorrect spots indicating one call when it is 
actually one of the others. Why? Because you just can't fix stupid and 
people do NOT LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN.....DX Rule # 1, 2 and 3! Then in 
their haste to throw out a cluster spot to "look big and important" they 
turn out looking like a fool with bad and bogus spots!

ADXA folks - do NOT let yourself get caught in this trap. Make sure you 
know which DXPedition pileup you're in and be smart. Most important 
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!

We all need some or all of these either for an all time new one or a new 
one on a band or mode. Just pay attention, get your pileup fighting 
shorts on and get in there.

Just be smart and LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!
