SV1GA/A Mount Athos WFWL

SV1GA/A Mount Athos WFWL (Work First Worry Later)

Turned on the radio a couple days ago and heard a big pileup for SV1GA/A on Mount Athos.

Turned my 173BA 3 element 17M beam and listened for probably 20 minutes before jumping into the fray. An excellent pileup! 10, 15 kHz wide on CW. Fun stuff!

Although they never got very strong here and there was quite a bit of up & down fading, I figured out SV1GA/A’s “pattern” (it’s a secret) and bagged them at 1927Z.

Does it count? Who cares? It counts to me, and that’s all that matters. I don’t care if the ARRL approves it or not. I don’t care if they had permission. I don’t care if they didn’t announce their DXpedition plans to the world. I don’t even care if I get a card as I already have a slew from Monk Apollo SV2ASP/A.

There’s some very distinguished DXpeditioners that operated SV1GA/A – who are you or I to judge their operation? These guys have been on more DXpeditions than 99.9% of the Ham Radio Community – they know the book, they wrote the book – we’re reading their book. I read Internet posts from a clown down under, another in Serbia, even a couple in Greece – they all have their panties in a bunch. Too bad. Misery loves company – grow up.

Speaking of their panties in a bunch – how do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?  With a crowbar, bwahahahahahaha! It’s a joke – relax, will ya’?

Anyway, good old CW and SSB pileups, it was good to hear. Even if it was just for a day or two!
