Greetings, fellow combatants.... If one had not had anything else to do this weekend (it WAS only a phone contest), it would have been instructional to have spent a bit of time listening in the 40 me

On most rigs doesn't the freq readout flip from the RX freq to the TX freq when you key the transmitter? (mine does). You just need to watch the freq readout to be sure you are transmitting on the ri

Know your radio inside and out. Look at the TRANSMIT light every time you go key-down and see where you're transmitting. My personal pet peeve is DX spots that don't spot a QSX frequency properly (o

Computer interfaces are a godsend on 40 and 80. That's my answer to save us. I never touch the split button on my rig anymore, I just hit the "-" key and enter the correct fequency (if it wasn't in t

I caught myself trying to work stations on 20 while transmitting on 40. At least I was in band! On the MP there is just a little red light for which vfo is transmitting. Not obvious when you are star

I love the minus-sign, quick QSX as well. However, on 75m especially, one often finds that the DX station has picked a not-so-good frequency as a stateside QSO is going on there. Not a good practice

I actually switch back and forth between VFO's when working split. I listen to the DX on VFO A and transmit on VFO B. When the DX comes back to someone I'll switch to VFO B and see if I can hear the
