I have never seen so much piracy as with this one.
There was, as I recall, such cheek that there was a pirate on 3Y0J's CW frequency giving out reports. At least it was the first or second day when I witnessed it.
It is perhaps marginally easier to pirate FT8. And yet, so far, pirates have been very egalitarian about mode. Take a look at the DX Marathon Helpful hints. You'll see pirate entries all over the map in terms of mode, band, anything. They seem to be equal opportunity killjoys.
It all reinforces what I remember Martti Lane writing in some long forgotten DXCC Annual.
He said "the DXpedition has to be loud." This one, for reasons we all know, was not.
