Disagree.
I would never presume to offer contesing advice to AR....BUT...
leaving a frequency for a full minute...then reclaiming?
If I ask if the frequency is in use...then ask again....with still no
answer,
the frequency is mine.
Until, of course, some W1 decides otherwise and CQs on top of me.
On retrospect, perhaps K3ZO is right....NEVER ask QRL. But, then,
again, being in W4, I will always lose a frequency fight to a W1 during
European
runs.
And I think all knowledgeable W1 contesters are aware of that fact.
73,
Larry K4AB
