[Elecraft] Fwd: K9W Wake Atoll DXpedition Has Been Approved - Hope To Be QRV This Weekend

[Dave]

Good luck to the expedition and those that chase after it.

Personally, I never seem to do well in pileups.  Maybe lack of erp on my 
part (on 23cm I do better, but I have more erp on that band) or a dislike of 
the sort of behaviour that seems to grip some people when a really rare DX 
country comes up on a band makes me want to just go somewhere else and do 
something different?

On 6M I used to notice that, when there was a rare DX station on, you could 
work other stations that would be covered in a pile up normally because 
everyone was after the super DX station.

So, I'll be pleased to try to hoover up a few lesser DX stations whilst 
everyone scrambles for Wake Atoll.  The fact that, even after being licenced 
since 1982, I've barely made DXCC worked, let alone confirmed, will tell you 
that I'm not in any sense of the word a "DXer".  ;-)

To missquote a well known saying, for me, DX isn't quite.
