The definitive guide to pile up operating is the DX code of conduct, this
being the accepted method of working.

Take a look at:

Hi, again, everyone.

 

Even though most of the W1AW Centennial stations I have heard on sideband
lately have been running simplex, it is suggested by our team leadership
that we be prepared to go split if the pileups get too large.

 

I am going to try to avoid this at all costs, and one of the ways I will do
this is take calls by call region.

 

If I have to go split, the recommendation is for us to move up 4 or 5 KHZ.
This would put me around 7.194 as a listening frequency if needed.

 

Again, I'm going to try to avoid this if at all possible, but wanted to put
this out there as an additional "heads up for the round table.

 

 

One other thing I just thought of too is that there sometimes is a group on
or near 7.188 late Saturday afternoons.

 

Maybe this will ultimately cause me to have to change operating frequencies
anyway, but I guess I won't know that till I get there.
