I have had the experience of operating from several spots in the world would
be considered DX. I guess the most activity would have been from the
Marshall Islands. I was KX6AA in the early 80s.

Hands down the best operators were the Japanese. If you told them to QRX
they did, if you said JA 1,2, etc. That's all that answered. I can't say
the same for Stateside.

So I ended up making a black list, and sticking by it. But from what I
hear now-a-days that won't help, they will just keep calling anyway. Why
is that? Because they read it on the packet cluster and really can't copy
CW anyway. Lidism to the max. What a deal.
