John,
Good Question. I should have elaborated more.
Frequently at night, you will see an out-of-band spot. If your are busy, or
it is not a multiplier, you will probably simply ignore it. However, if you
are not busy, or it is a multiplier, you might go to the spot frequency and
listen to see if the station is advertising that he is listening somewhere
in the US bands. This happens frequently on 40 meters at night. The
station will be listening both on his TX frequency and somewhere in the US
bands. The original spot did not include this information.
After I work the station, I will re-spot the station including the QSX info.

I don't understand - HELP! If the station is outside the US bands or
there is no QSX, what decisions do you have to make?? Decide whether
you're going to operate outside the band?? SRI - I'm lost on this, but
open to education! Tnx
