I'm hoping DXpeditioners or organizers of future trips may possibly obtain one or two clues that they never might have thought of otherwise, which may lessen the frustration of hams the world over who want a crack at them. I'm afraid that's probably wishful thinking at best. We have been complaining about DXpeditions for years, and that doesn't seem to have improved the overall quality at all. Fact is, the people who go aren't necessarily only the Pro's. They are the people who want to go, who can afford to go, and who don't have other obligations that keep them from going. As far as the Dipthongians only working other Dipthongians, that's the way life is. They paid for the trip with Dipthongian Pesos, so they should be able to work whomever they please. One really silly notion you need to get rid of that may change your perspective on the whole game is the 'fact' that people go on DXpeditions to work the world, to help the little guys with 100 watts and a dipole get a 'new' one. That's crap. People go on DXpeditions because they think it's fun to go, they enjoy the adrenalin rush at the other end of the pileup - they do it for them, not for you or me....... Look up 'deserving' in the dictionary, and I'm sure you'll find it says nothing about ham radio. 73, Jim KH2D |
