And, more particularly, realize whether those stations were actually operating at that time. <br /><br />Without that knowledge they are left to wait for a seemingly reasonable small window where they feel they have the best chance of working the other station without interfering with anyone else. That, of course, depends on their station set up (eggbeaters would perhaps be overhead contacts, yagis fixed on the horizon would be either at AOS or LOS). <br /><br />But, of course, every other station has these same choices that contribute to the situation. It's certainly not simple with so many unknowns for all the stations on the air.<br /><br />It appears to me that courtesy and patience may be needed in equal proportions with situational awareness. <br /><br />Thanks again for your thoughts and well written post.<br />Jim Wilson – K5NDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782814711961910032noreply@blogger.com
