Your absolutely right Don. Before calling, every station should
take a bit of time and see what the DX station is doing. I've
seen some work the station and move up (or down) just a bit. It
doesn't do any good to call the station on the last guys freq as
there are probably a hundred others doing the same thing. If he
tunes up, move up just a little and call. Usually they move up
to a certain frequency then start to move down. It doesn't take
long to figure a pattern, then you've got the advantage over lots
of stations calling blindly. Always listen for a while first.
Cuts down on lots of QRM. 73
