Let's have a talk about CW etiquette and POTA

I've noticed the behavior on CW POTA pileups deteriorating recently (not so much on SOTA). I'm not sure why. I noticed the same thing on DX and especially the 13 Colonies event over the summer as well. Folks, if you're going to hunt parks, or chase summits or DX, or S&P event/contest stations, please keep some basic rules in mind. First, read the DX code of conduct. Second, follow it. It can be tough to manage a pileup even when it's well behaved, but when it's like a bunch of rowdy three year olds, it gets ugly fast. Call once, and only once. Don't tailgate. Don't send information we don't need. Finally, please learn instant word recognition for some basic stuff like CALL, AGN, and ?. It'll make your life and ours so much easier! Thanks for watching, and I hope this didn't feel too much like I'm scolding you LOL.
