On hf I work cw,ssb,rtty,psk
and sstv. Today's smart softwares are very useful
for digital
modes. By now I'm hunting for new dx-es rather than ragchewing, though not problem
with the story telling friend-making issues.
So I'm chasing new entities,yet
being a bit gone off pile-up fights.When hundred of callers
jump in on a dx spot that's not the sole thing make it hard. In a short while
some players get upset and make themselves saboteurs or policemen, thus no way
to have chance to work.
Anyway there are some basic rules
should be taken by both dx and caller.I would never understand why some do not
stop calling when he clearly hear the dx calls for another one.
On the other hand the dx won't make
a progress unless working split.Strange,but some of them don't know it, or takes
long time while choose this way.Once I found a great article in here,
it is worth to read for all participants. Martyn describes how it looks from
the other side.
Worked 333 dxcc entries since 1999.
These are my most wanted entities I did not work so far:

NAVASSA |
VK0H |
HEARD |
VP8S |
SOUTH SANDWICH |
