[ADXA] DXPedition Pileup Management 101

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Here's a prime example of the complication sometimes caused by multiple 
DXPeditions on at the same time. Right now on 30 meters, 9G2DX is on 
10.103 MHz listening up, and 7P8LB is on 10.106 listening up. Depending 
on how far "Up" stations are calling 9G2DX they could wind up right on 
top of 7P8LB causing mass hysteria!

Navigate wisely, ADXA folks!
