[ADXA] Question

I have to wonder, why do folks call blind on FT8?  Now I know some are just getting into digital modes and they do stuff like calling on the same cycle of the DX station.  We all have to learn and make mistakes.  I also wonder where are all the Elmers?

KP5/NP3VI was on 10.131, but moved on some 12 minutes and 41 seconds ago according to the live stream.  They are now on 15m CW.  So why do folks keep calling on 30m FT8?  Maybe they thing they are coming back and they want to be first out of the gate, but if they are not there, why not give your gear a break!  They are still calling and just check that is now over 30 minutes ago.

Really I was taught if you are not hearing them in ANY mode don't call them!  Gezz.   I don't see any of our members doing that, thank goodness!   73 de w5jay/jay..
