Bill, 
 
Don't let the waterfall filled with calls throw you off.  I had the same thing last night and still got through.  Once I "bookmarked" his frequency and then "bookmarked one for myself, it was simply a matter of watching what he was doing and following the sequence.  As soon as he said "listening UP UP..." I switched to my bookmarled area and sent "TI9M de WB0DUL WB0DUL."   No "K" was sent as soon as his trace ended.  I stayed on the same spot and snagged him in 30 minutes and the competition was fierce. 
 
Just pick a spot a few cycles off his frequency and don't worry about anyone else.  He'll eventuall come back to you.  BTW, they will only be there thru Saturday, so if you want this one, you have to be persistent.  PSK is your salvation as opposed to SSB and CW where the pileups are gigantic.
 
Good luck.

Costas,

I saw TI9M this evening too, but could not work him on 14
Mhz. Way too much competition!

At my location, the 14 Mhz passband looked quiet when I
first opened my waterfall.  I was making some notations,
and when I looked up, the waterfall was filled, wall to
wall with traces. The next time I looked, there were only
a couple. 

For a minute I thought there was a loose connection
somewhere in my antenna or audio feed! Then, after
copying some of the traces, I realized that nearly
everyone on 14.070 was trying to work TI9M, and was
responding to TI9M's advisory that he was working split,
and "listening UP UP pse K". The waterfall would fill
with traces in unison as soon as he stopped transmitting
and began selecting his next station.  Duncan's comments
about the importance of listening (or watching) and
figuring out what's going on became apparent....... It
was a thing of beauty!

Will try again later.
