[ADXA] Clowns, LIDS and idioits

[John McKinnie]

 Well, looking on the bright side, the idiots, clowns and lids will be spread out since there will be more than just one station! :)

I was wondering yesterday if some of those folks that were CQ'ing on 10.131 while the WW station was on were actually the station or if they were pirated calls to get everyone riled up.
The DXSummit comments have been pretty rough this past week.

Understatement.  I saw one guy CQing over WW forever and politely emailed him.  He responded, "sorry I hit the wrong button."  ???????  I have yet to work WW on 20 meters.  I do not need them for an ATNO and did get them on 30.  I'd like a CW contact though because my previous two, when I was a young man, were SSB.  This has me worrying about Bouvet.  What is it going to be like??????

 As Joel said, it will only get worse as the New Year gets here.  Today, I was seeing FT8WW almost every decode and sometimes all 3 streams.  But those calling on EVEN were so prevalent earlier.  I texted one guy and he said FT8WW was transmitting on ODD and bunches of folks were trying to work him.  I asked him what was his db and he told me it was hovering between -5 and +5.  Then he got to thinking and realized it must be a pirate.  He even saw the notice on the QRZ page about EVEN only, but it didn't soak in the heat of the moment.  He didn't fall for the P5KIM a couple days ago since he already had NK.   
  Time to take a couple "happy pills" and sit back.  The circus should be fun.   
  Good Luck everybody and have a very safe New Year.
