The Simplex Pileup KP5/NP3VI. THAT WAS A ROUGH CROWD!
For around 15 minutes this evening the 40 Meter simplex CW pileup for KP5/NP3VI was so, sooo aggravating and beyond frustrating, but in the end – oh so satisfying!
KP5/NP3VI showed up on 7.022 and even though he was sending “UP”, he was obviously working simplex. The Desecheo Remote Operator surely didn’t know he was NOT listening up because he worked several of us simplex.
21 of us as a matter of fact. What a mess! Two of us he worked twice, only because neither of us could hear him reply through the non-stop callers, carriers and QRMers. Like I said, that was a tough crowd!
I think after K4TK and I worked him twice he must’ve sensed something was wrong and bailed from 40 and went to 80 for a fresh start.
Take a peek at the list of who made it through over 15 minutes on 40 Meters, ALL simplex (click to enlarge):
And just for your listening pleasure here’s a short recording of that non-stop 40 Meter simplex craziness this evening, lol.
If you think this pileup was bad from my vantage point, imagine what KP5/NP3VI must’ve been hearing. I can see why he bailed and went to 80 Meters after only 15 minutes of this!
CLUBLOG SHOW N0UN WORK TWO TIMES ON FT8 AND MANY DUPES ON CW?
That’s the N0UN Fan Club idiots. I guarantee you I only work human modes and never dupe. It’s no consequence to me that pirates feel the need to bootleg my call and cost their fellow hams a Q. Every time they pirate my call they’re just keeping another Ham out of the log.

They’ve been off the air for quite a while now. Hopefully they have enough sun to charge the batteries. I still have not worked them. When I have heard them here in Washington they have not been very loud. I need them for a new one.
Go look at their Facebook page. They are working on setting up mode and location schedules. Hope you get them!
