NI0C, I had the same experience a few months ago. Deja vu. Thought it was unusual but entertaining. Hey, I needed it, so I as not going to say a word.

Was 3Y5X the dxped where everybody was calling on 20 up and down the band and the op would just tune in and swoop down on a caller to work him and then move on? If that was the event, it was total chaos. I hope that never happens again that way. Apologies if I have it confused. That one almost pushed me away from ever using SSB.

I love this hobby, I love DXing, but I don't know if I would even try for that one. Unless I had a monster antenna and was West Coast, it would be tough to do. Maybe wait until reunification and P5 gets deleted

Luke, maybe it's the Aussie accent, but every time I hear a VK station I feel like I gotta work you guys. Even if SE VK (sorry about that mixup).
Maybe I am jealous that you ops always seem more relaxed while I always feel stressed or in a hurry. But I have NEVER heard a rude, angry, or unhappy VK station on the air. 35 years in the hobby, always courteous and friendly. Even when Skylab was falling down out of the sky in 1979, I talked to some VK stations who laughed it off even if it should hit their house (luckily noone got hurt from that).
Just wish I heard you VK's more often, and hopefully on 160 (now would be a good time, as we near the spring equinox, so I will get up before my SR).

2100 local, hearing VK2SJC on 28460. I remember that happening a lot in the summer of 1979, when I was in CALIFORNIA! But not from the West Coast, and not much in this cycle.
I show four VK contacts on 10 meters, March of 2011, March of 2012, and October of 2012. Seven ZL contacts on 10 during the same period. The sun continues to mystify. Every time we think we have it figured out...
So I am not giving up on this cycle yet!

Three cheers for the 9M4SLL DXpedition team. They get a donation from me even though they already uploaded to LoTW (in fact, that is the reason WHY they are getting a donation from me!)
