> Jeez, the BS those guys throw.  The pile up for C6ANX was unreal until he started working by call area.  Nice job and EVERY one got thru.  The guys at VQ5M did an outstanding job controlling the calls but still idiots comming up and saying "anyone here?"  Key word HEAR!!  There's NO WAY they couldn't hear that pile up!
Actually there is.  On the upper HF bands and particularly on lower VHF 
as in six meters it's very easy for some one, say in Michigan not to 
hear either end of a pileup like this. However it's also possible for 
some one to hear both ends of the pileup and the station in Michigan.  
So don't be too quick to condemn.    It's also true that many just turn 
the radio on, don't hear anything and immediately put out a call.

Yesterday there were several times I could hear three stations working 
on the same frequency. They may have had some interference, but they 
were operating successfully.
