Gave up trying to log the YL (young lady) DXpedition in Greenland. The
operator Ingrid sounded like she was disgusted with the whole thing.

Very cool on the first one - but why was Ingrid unhappy? No contacts?


It was a zoo. There are a couple locals in Greenland that I talk to
once and a while. But add a YL and things get ridiculous. People
calling 5 and 6 times made it almost impossible to make a contact. She
did a good job but I can understand why she would not be too happy
about it. I think they have 6 female operators. Probably someone
different tonight.

They do have a nice sounding station set up. There were stations from
South America and Europe calling so anyone wanting to hear a station
from Greenland should listen to 20 meters for the OX6YL callsign.
