[ADXA] Great attitude QJ!

[HamOP]

SO funny QJ!! I still to this day will jump and scream when I have chased for a new band or mode, and my wife thinks I am dying!! That is the right feeling to have and makes you proud. Keep up the good work! You only need time and rarer DX stations to get to where you only need the rarest of DX and usually those are things like P5, 3Y and such.

I'm Addicted too.
I am humble enough to know I'll never be in the same League as you Big Gun ADXA guys.
But I still have the "Bust-A-Pile-Up" addiction.
Even with my modest station, and modest skills... I hear the DX station,,, I listen to the Operator's pattern. I find where he is listening...Then, I WALK IN AND I GET MINE!
Then I jump out of the chair, dance around the room, and scream like a little Indian Girl...
My name is Jonathan, and "I'll Pass with That".

Party on Hose Head.

I couldn't care less about the "Leader Board". That doesn't interest or attract me in the least. What I am addicted to, however, is a pileup. I just can't stay out of one. I don't care who it is, where they are or how many times I have worked other DXPeditions in that country.....I've gotta get in there and kick some east coast butt, walk over a W6 and just plain humiliate them from W5 land! I just can't resist doing that.
If you're a weenie DX'er you need to learn how to be a smarter op than me and beat me in the pileups!!  :-))
Do NOT recommend therapy for me or saddle up a posse of ADXA folks for one of those "interventions", just stay out of my way!! I'm a ham with an addiction!!!   :-))))
It is a contagious disease and some of you other ADXA folks have contracted it. You know who you are so my advice to you is, "Party on Garth!" (That's Wayne's World speak for "GET ON AIR AND WORK THEM!)

Today I have made a decision based on review of my QSL confirmations from DXpeditions dating back years ago. I no longer will get in a pileup for the sake of chasing DX per se. Others need a better shot at the DX and not be CW or SSB splattered/clobbered by a local AR/MO station.
 
Too many ADXA members are in the same pileups I have been in chasing the 7P8 and XR0, and I feel badly that maybe I will be calling near by or helping create a bigger pileup than needed. An ADXA member needing the station for an ATNO is more important than my watching a leaderboard. I have almost all band/modes confirmed for XR0 (2016 trip) and 7P8 (2016) - RTTY/SSB/CW - and will only call if I need an isolated B/M..  But for sure, I will call on 160m IF I hear them, since ATNO for me. This is my new policy. So on RTTY, CW and SSB I will only be calling for an ATNO of some sort.
