  You're a good guy, Greg.

  I bet I've sent my call a thousand plus times with legeal limit power into 4 elements at 56 feet, 99% of it on 20 CW.  I've been at the radio virtually all my waking hours (minus quick sandwich and bathroom breaks).  It's so frustrating.  I have never heard such pileups before.  I've never had such trouble working a DXpedition that had decent signals.  The problem is that the rest of the world gets an even better signal from BS7 (and sends stronger ones back) so they don't hear us unless they are asking for NA only.  Yesterday they were S6 or S7 from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and S3 or S4 from then until past 3 p.m. but except for a couple of hours in the morning all I heard them working was Europe, hundreds of DL's.  Today's morning session was not as good, peaking S4 and this afternoon was about S1 to S2 at my location, but I heard them pretty much constantly, and still do as I write this.

  I think it's possible that I am in their log from yesterday morning on 20 CW.  But I'm not sure because the operator was sending 45 WPM and there was QRM.  If not, I'm beginning to think this one will go down as a week wasted here.

  Frustrated, big time.  And this is supposed to be fun.

  Garry, W8OI
    I've never had this much trouble getting a cw qso before, thank god I lucked into my ssb qso. My prefered mode is cw but feel guilty calling them on cw, because so many still need him anyway they can get him.....so i'm just gonna qrt on him and send my qsl off to KU9C....Good luck guys my prayers are with you.....Greg, W8GG
