All of those attempt to slip in a call while he was waiting for another Op to reply where quickly met with W8... does your call sign sound like PY2...

Wish he had been the op on 3Y0X (Peter 1) instead of the bozo who caused me to lose a 10M contact. The op clearly came back to my call on SSB, but worked a caller who wouldn't shut the **** up. Never was able to get through on 10M after that. If a DXpedition op doesn't maintain control, the mob will take over. Just like any other aspect of life where discipline is needed.

They are alternating between working EU and NA on 40m SSB this evening. Here is what they sounded like at my QTH during one of their EU runs: https://youtu.be/Ujg1nZwt7qc

The piggies are out in force on this one. Some already have 10 bands confirmed and are pigging out, one of which posts here. And this DXpedition is not using the leaderboard feature according to ClubLog. They have nothing to gain, except maybe one marathon point. It must be an ego thing.
When there was a large scale activity Sable I. before the recent one? There for sure are a lot of folks who never worked CY0 and who need Challenge points.
With my 2950 confirmed I needed them on 160, 30 (done), 15 and 10 (waiting for indexes to go down). Fortunately there are no "good for nothing 3Y0J joking pilots" talking of ONE QSO only

Same with me with Iris Colvin.  Forget where they were, but IIRC somewhere in Asia.  Called and she comes back (to a partial of my old callsign).  I repeat and she's going back to someone else.  Listened to her do that several times.  Poor/terrible operator.

They were CQing with no takers on 75M at 4AM Eastern time.  l listened for a while and only heard them work one other station.
#85 for my 75M Phone DXCC. I've worked Phone DXCC on 6 other bands.

The Colvins were never great operators. Whenever they said "QRX" you knew that meant "QRT." No matter how big the pile-up was, Lloyd would "CQ" after every QSO. Some close friends tried to get him to stop doing that, but to no avail. It was always a mixed bag when they showed up from somewhere. Their main claim to fame was the large number of entities they activated, some pretty rare.

There was some questions at the time about how they got licenses for some of their activations. They'd just show up somewhere and in short order they'd be on the air. I never heard any accusations but some people were concerned that they might be hurting the chances for others to get a license.

Once a year they'd have a party at their home in Richmond which was round and reminded one of a lighthouse. There was a room with all the QSL cards they had received filed in drawers. You could find QSLs you had sent them.

Definitely a different era of DXing.  A friend of mine dubbed them Floyd and Virus.

I met them at Visalia.  Nice folks despite their eccentricities.  Lloyd had the honor of operating with the longest callsign I ever worked on CW; GC5ACI/WB6QEP.

Worked them 3 x on 17m FT8, then I noticed a note "Some FT8 logs are delayed", so maybe my QSO's are in the delayed upload.

Patience.

Yes there logs seem to be all over the place , They did a upload a while ago but it seems to be the VHF stuff only,

No 17m QSO's as far as I can see

Fortunately there are no "good for nothing 3Y0J joking pilots" talking of ONE QSO only

I take it you haven't seen the actual "order" from a 3Y0J Team Member to that pilot?  It exists in Messenger snapshots, I've seen them all, and I have them all.

That pilot is a friend of mine (for decades) and I can assure you he did exactly what he was asked to do. And he did it well.

There are people that know, and there are people that don't.  You're in the latter.

Wayne,
All I KNOW is that in accordance with the pilot's request after 30m QSO I quit calling missing the chance for a needed 17m QSO. You did NOT and have 17m QSO confirmed. What's the value of those secret Messenger snapshots of yours?
Then I found out from the team leader that ONE QSO request never existed. Whom do I need to believe?
What I know for sure is that if there were no pilots, video interviews and tons of published pictures VK6CQ and other envious trolls would have no food.

I worked them yesterday on 17m... but they were suspiciously strong. I'm too close where their skip goes well over on bands like 17m and they had 4 very strong streams. WFWL, but I have a feeling I possibly worked a pirate. If it wasn't a pirate - then it was interesting band conditions!

They just posted my CQ WPX 75M Phone QSO.  I just need them on 6, 12, and 15 meters. 
I got my 6M Yagi back up yesterday afternoon but haven't heard them.
