[Elecraft] Legal Limit With FT8

Re; Tail-ending,  He who hesitates is lost, or as a Navy sky diver once told me, 
"He who hesitates shall inherit the Earth."

Classic tail-ending is calling BEFORE the last guy is finished.  So while the 
previous guy is sending 73, good bye, hasta la vista, hope to work you again 
soon, you snuggle up to the frequency, drop your call in and work the DX while 
the other guy is still sending.

This is all dependent on paying attention to how the DX handles pileups. Some 
don't like this.  So listening is always important. For example, I worked one 
major DXpedition (forgot which one but their leader was the keynote speaker at 
Visalia the next year and mentioned exactly this).  They were calling CQ on 
14.190 and the op would say, "Listening 200 to 210" and the pile would instantly 
begin screaming as he paused ever so slightly and continued "and 14.195." I 
worked him on 14.195 on one call.
