pile upcomes suddenly (September 09, 2009)
I was waching on the radio at night and there was something noisy in the living room.
I looked in and saw the whole family dancing to disco music!
One CD makes the whole family smile.
I called MM0BQN on 14MHz and got a CQ, introduced my antenna and talked with him for a bit, and ended the call at 73.
Up to this point, the communication was the same as usual. However, a station called me on the same frequency. I announced, "3K UP Please," and then QSY.
It was OH5ZZ from Finland. Again, he asked for IOTANo, and we talked a little in my poor English.

The next moment, however, there were many stations calling me!
I didn't call CQDX, so I was a bit panicked when so many stations called me because I wasn't prepared for it.
Although I have experience in Japan with 7MHz mobile operations, the experience is still different.
All signals are heard (and felt) at a low audio level, making it very difficult to pick up call signs.
I pick a strong signal among them and call them back, but sometimes they don't hear my callback or don't answer.
Then, when I call again, this time the other party is also sending at the same time, so I end up missing the call sign and keep getting "again Please" over and over again!
If you can't get a call and you try to say "IZ again please," a lot of stations will call you again and ask you again.

That is how it was a joyful experience that I kept being called for about two hours from 12:38 U to 14:36 U on September 9.

It was my first time to pile from DX and I also realized how inexperienced my skills were.
I was so tired that I couldn't understand what I was saying during the two hours of shouting,
Gigi would get mad at me and say, "Can't you make your voice a little quieter?" ・・・・.

But it was a dream come true, from DX.pile upbegan abruptly and lasted until midnight.
