Besides the GB13COL I had a pretty easy time with this event this year. I got into it right at is was starting and got a few stations. I struggled to hear K2Z but finally had a clear signal from him on the sixth. I got a few of them on CW which was easy.
GB13COL was a mess though. When I could hear him there were tons of Alpha Hotel’s yelling on top of him, I just didn’t have the patience to deal with it. This event seems to bring out the people who don’t know the DX Code of Conduct, or they’re just dickheads, probably the worst pileup etiquette I’ve ever heard. A couple times I could hear him on both CW and FT8 but he wouldn’t respond to anyone. Not sure what that was about as I worked some other European stations so I know my signal was getting out. I’m guessing quite a few people will have a blank spot for this one.
