Good point. However, this would be more useful if Jose would offer constructive
suggestions on becoming a better DX operator.
For DXpeditions, I agree that only the best operators should be selected.
For the rest, remember that for DXers in "rare" countries, it is their home and
they don't have the opportunity to learn slowly on the air the way we do in North
America and Europe.
From the minute they get on the air there are thousands of hams wanting to work
them on every band and mode. They can't enjoy a casual QSO with another ham
the way we can. When they try, they get constant interruptions. They may not
have access to clubs or "Elmers" to help them learn.
It is also the responsibility of the rest of the world to give them a break. Don't demand
too much, be understanding, and ask yourself how well you would do in the same
situation.

John ON4UN has an excellent chapter (chapter 2) on operating either end of
the pileup in his Low Band DX book. This chapter applies to any band, not just
the low bands. So much common sense in so few pages.
It should be required reading (and re-reading) for all DX and DXers!
