    Most of the things wrong with ham radio could be fixed with a well aimed brick to the occasional forehead.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    This kind of behavior is relly bullshit; and that's why I don't chase much DX. I like to ragchew with DX, as well as domestic stations, but if there is a pile up, I'm otta there. I don't need the aggrevation for a 10 second QSO. There are far too many other INTERESTING things in my life to really piss me off.

    Then I take it you don't contest much, either?

    Pile-ups don't bother me. I find them amusing at times. It's entertaining to listen to some of these morans trying (badly) to work DX, when it's obvious they have no clue what they're doing.

    Part of the reason I don't bother with contesting. I prefer just to find a quiet frequency and call cq on a non-contest days and see what happens. Mind, I have absolutely nothing against contesting and I am not one to rant over it. If that is what people enjoy then its fine with me. But yeah, sometimes those pileups are unreal and you have to wonder how they expect to be acknowledged if they never let up on the key.
