My point was not to go "prowling for CQing stations" without answers and
jump on them. I don't believe anyone is doing that. Certainly not commonly
from what I hear.
My point was that if I start CQing on what I think is a clear frequency and
you are close by.not too close for me, but closer than you want me to be.
And I get a fairly quick call or two to my CQs and start feeling
"established". Whether you have been CQing for a while or not.I am likely
staying where I am if I am seeing rate. And I will listen to the "objecting
station" when challenged, The last thing I want is to be covered over by
his pile. But if he is not too strong and not getting answers, and I am, I
am likely staying.
That is all I meant.
The most important point is that a frequency is not a discrete point, its an
implied bandwidth. And some people get all worked up if you are within
400hz of their center frequency on CW. And feel its "their" frequency. I
am using a rock solid 250hz bandwidth filter. That person is "non existent
to me in most cases" when I am 250hz away.
