QSO?
Well, during CQ WW SSB last month, I did exactly that to get my K mult
on 40 SSB. I have a real little pistol station (low dipoles for 20 and
40) so nighttime and the low bands were pretty slow. Add to that the
fact that at the time I only had 1 VFO (got a 2nd a week later) and
40/80/160 were realllly slow.
So, after I'd cleaned out the low bands, I went up to 20 and CQ'd my
brains out. Got a local to answer, asked him if he'd move to 40. He
did, and I got my mult.
As to 0-pointers in general, I think people just need to learn one
thing: Log everyone you work. I don't understand why people have an
aversion to seeing 0-pointers in the log.
