Thank you for the sermon and the finger-pointing. Of course, quoting from
your site, "After concluding I probably wasn't going to break the pile of
Europeans (and realizing I don't need T33 on 20m CW) " I think it is wonderful
that you contributed for a while to the pile up so those of us who do need T33
can have a greater sense of accomplishment when (if) we ever do break that
pile up. Do you also help us out by yelling "up up" on the dx's frequency?

That's a pretty huge jump...

- Calling a DX station who you've not worked before, but who's in a
country you have worked.
- Being an "UP" station.

Kinda like equating inadvertently transmitting your call once on 7.060
SSB because you forgot to press SPLIT, and being a freebander.

Guess this explains why this kind of calling out-of-turn continues: dare
to expose it, and get slammed.....
