Message: With conditions not excellent, it is difficult for Mary to pick out whom she wants to answer when two to four stations send their callsigns at the same time. LISTEN, if someone is already sending their call, then wait till that station is done with their contact. You would spend less time repeating your callsign. If you notice, when there are multiple stations calling, Mary does not answer. That should tell you there is a pile up.
