I was listening to 18.155 Mhz and Heard Hams, repeating callsigns over and
over again. What are they doing?

ignorant swl,
Thanks


I'll take a guess -- there is a DXpedition to Suriname in South America
using call sign is PZ5YV. They are working split -- that is - they call at
about
18.145 MHz and listen for callers at 18.150 to 18.155 MHz

The callers repeat their callsigns over and over again in hopes PZ5YV picks
them out.

It's called a DX Pileup

There is only a few hundred hams in Suriname so it is a rare DX country. The
aim of a DXpedition is to put the country on the air and provide a large
number of contacts for dxers that need credit for theit ARRL DXCC.
