Newbie question: This morning on 20m I was listening to a pileup for a
mobile in Minnesota who was 33 from my G5RV near Seattle. I could
hear some of the callers but not many. Suddenly a very strong signal
came on offering to relay for the mobile (I think). It was very rapid
fire for quite a while, and then the strong signal bowed out and
someone thanked him for the help.

It was all happening to fast for me to follow. What was I hearing?

Chances are, there were many stations trying to get through to the
mobile without success and this fella offered to act as net control
(let's not start this thread again..dead horse yada yada yada)for the
mobile station. SInce this other fella could probably hear the stations
trying to contact the mobile, he's offering to relay the callers call-
signs to the mobile, who then work the mobile and this fella offers up
the next callsign he hears

Different schools of thought on this topic/subject

HAve a nice week-end
