Subject: [ADXA] DXPedition Pileup Management 101

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!!!
