Ordinarily I don't go nuts over these DXpeditions. They're more
similar to 'contesting' than to DXing I think, and I'm definitely more
of a DXer. Still, Desecheo is a big event for amateur radio and I
wanted to be a part of it.

Yes, I believe Desecheo is something like 7th on the all-time needed ham
radio country list.

So, I knew that, at least once, I had to
pierce the wall of QRM that's created when you have 1000 different
stations all calling at the same time! Of course, if I'd been smart
I'd have waited until the last day or two of the DXpedition, when the
number of calling stations will probably be lowest.

Nah, ya done good. You never know when "the last day or two of the
DXpedition" will be. Several different DXpeditions have ended early for
a variety of unforeseen reasons. Grab them while you can!

I got them on CW and RTTY.
