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.
