[NCDXA] Gentleman-DXer and 3Y0J

[Fred Matos]

Hello DXers,
A gentleman-DXer is considerate regarding other DXers.
The 3Y0J DXpedition, realizing that it had to change their plans and substantially shorten their time,  announced that only those who need Bouvet for an ATNO should call them.
A gentleman-DXer would observe the rule, and not call.

Unfortunately, many DXers who already had Bouvet already confirmed called anyway.   They are not gentleman-DXers.
K3IT searched the PVRC mailing list of 1300 call signs, and ran that against the call signs that 3Y0J uploaded to Clublog; and posted the results on the PVRC reflector.
The resultes are copied below.  There are some familiar call signs of DXers, some of which are near the top of the honor roll and most likely had Bouvet confirmed.  
A did a little reseach myself.  I checked the top 10 of the DXCC Honor Roll list.   Seven call signs were not listed in the ClubLog upload.   The three that did were 4X4DK, the top of the list had 7 QSOs; W1JR had 2, and W4DR had 4.
Looking at another DXer, W4DZZ, he had eight 3Y0J QSOs, and his ClubLog results are copied below.  Note that he had duplicate QSOs in some cases.   His QRZ.com page shows his DXCC Number 1 plaque; and other info shows that he has worked everybody several times.  The 3Y0J question remains: Why did he do this?
Many DXers who had Bouvet confirmed observed ATNO-only rule, but others did not.    They are not gentleman-DXers.

By K3IT....
Out of extreme boredom I queried the 3Y0J clublog  for 1302 callsigns from
the PVRC roster and counted the amount of green color returned for each
call (green = confirmed).  I was able to locate 73 calls.

Here they are sorted from the highest to lowest green pixel count.
Congrats!
