[OKDXA] NA vs EU DXers

[John Geiger]

Has anyone else noticed the difference in behavior
between US and European DXers?  I am specifically
thinking about the spotting clusters.  On the recent
FT5XO DXpedition, which was a piece of cake to work
from EU but very difficult from EU, I saw nothing but
praise for the DXpedition from US hams on the cluster,
even though there are probably plenty of us who didn't
work them (myself included).  

Compare that with the VP6DIA and XF4IH DXpeditions,
which was the opposite-easy from NA but very difficult
from EU.  Go back and look at the clusters there.  You
seen plenty of EU comments about how it was the worst
DXpedition ever, how terrible the ops were because
they didn't spend all their time working EU, etc.  I
missed VP6 on 30m because everytime I heard them on,
they were ONLY listening for EU.

Just an interesting comparison.
