[Dx-qsl] P5/4L4FN's next station

[John Geiger]

You've made some very good points here Alan. 
DXpedition behavior does seem to be getting worse and
worse.  It amazes me why someone would continue to
call when the DX has answered someone else.  Can they
possibily be so stupid that they think that the DX
station will ignore whoever he was working and come
back to them (They probably are).  IT seems worst on
SSB, but also has found its way into CW.  One thing
that drives me crazy is listening to the same moron
yell the last two letters over and over.  At least
this hasn't made its way into CW or RTTY yet.  The
fact that it hasn't illustrates that there is no
advantage to doing so.
