Believe it or not, I don't spend all of my time glued to the radio. When I 
hear bedlam on a particular frequency, I have been known to just put that 
frequency into DX Summit and see what has been spotted in the last few 
minutes. This often works. It is prudent to try to copy the station's call, 
though, because sometimes an incorrect callsign is spotted, either by 
listeners or by CW Skimmer.
If you get serious about this stuff you can subscribe to DX e-mail 
newsletters or probably e-mail listservs for DXers. At a mnimum, you can 
look at and hang onto e-mailed ARRL DX bulletins which come out each 
Thursday, which cover at least some of the DX activity.

Subject: DX station tonight on 10.114

OK, I jumped into a pile-up tonight, not knowing for sure who the DX station
was. The DX station was on 10.114 at 02:55 tonight, Saturday night, but I
don't know who it was. All I know is that I went up 2 KC like he said and
jumped into the pile-up, and bingo, much to my surprise, he came right back
to me. Is there any chance one of you might have heard him and know who it
was? If not, is there any way I can find out. Yeah, I know I should have
known who I was calling, but I've done it before and listened until the DX
station finally, and I do mean finally, gave his call, and then, I was able
to log it. But, tonight he quit, and I never heard him give his call but
only once, and I didn't catch it for certain. I thought it was a 3b8 call,
but not sure.
