There are several techniques used to QSY to another band. Some people
assume you are going to stay on your same frequency but on the new
band (ie: 14045 -> 21045 -> 28045). Others will pick a frequency
likely to be clear (ie: up the band around 050 or 060).
In the old days before the rigs had a memory of the frequency you were
last on, the first method was perferred. Now with computer frequency
control, the quickest way to QSY is to type in the new frequency.
This gets more complicated if the band you are going to is serviced by
a second radio. And if that radio is a C line without digital display,
and maybe the crystal for that band is off a little from the others...
One tool we could use from the old CW traffic nets is the G signal that
indicates we are going to be turning our bandswitch in the next second.
It is a short version of GG, meaning you are going to QSY.
So, it gets down to a personal choice which frequency to use.
I personally like to use something above the normal activity. Maybe
060 is a good choice. If we used a standard frequency for this type of
thing (or range of frequencies), maybe some people will just listen there.
It is always fun to follow two stations and work both of them.

Subject: YO DX Contest; K3ZO results and comments
Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.91.950810114633.5067A-100000@latte.eng.umd.edu>
What with all the reports of NAQP activity, one would have thought that
there were no W's left to compete in the YO DX Contest. Not so! I did
and I also heard KA1DWX, my frequent partner in second tier DX contests,
knocking them off as well.
Here's my breakdown:
(SOAB CW only):
Band QSO YO provinces ITU Zones
80 12 4 2
40 65 21 9
20 129 22 13
15 1 0 1
TOTALS 207 47 + 25 (x 1156 pts) =
83232 points, final score
Comments: Since we East Coasters have been accused of doing nothing but
"hitting F1 all weekend long" in the big contests, let it be said that I
use these second tier DX contests to hone my S&P techniques. In the
first place, I prefer to work people who are really in the contest I am
in and not just doing me a favor by offering to give me a point.
Secondly, some contest sponsors only give you credit for a QSO if the
other station's log was received.
In one instance on 40, however, someone called me after I finished with a
station I called so I worked him, and then a couple of others called, so
sensing I was in demand, I moved up a bit and ran a few until the well
went dry. Guess there were others S&P'ing besides me! Which brings to
mind a truism: "If everyone S&P's and nobody calls CQ, the bands are
awfully quiet!" A couple of times on 20 when I absolutely couldn't find
anyone new, I called CQ and ran off a few.
Comments on conditions:
80: QRN but I got every European I could hear.
40: Excellent conditions, but Radio Vatican still puts out their hash.
20: Conditions were pretty good, band open pretty late.
15: Only one European worked here; I had the feeling that the band was
open at times but nobody was giving it a try.
Apologies to the USA op in the NAQP who thought I was calling
him on 40 when I dumped my call in on a YO. I worked the YO,
of course, but a couple KHz away I could hear the USA fellow,
whose call I didn't get, asking me for my name and state.
Sorry, I don't do the NAQP or HF sprints.

Let me say it this way.
Since Steel wire is magnetic, its losses at AC are greater than at DC.
Being magnetic it has a permeability which makes the skin depth smaller. So
at AC we
really have two reasons that the losses are greater. It's magnetic property
and it's
restitivity. Depending on frequency its losses can be at much as 20 times
higher than copper in the HF bands.
If I get time I could go through the numbers at 160 meters.

Personally, I would rather not use a standard frequency. The point of moving a
multiplier is to work a multiplier that, perhaps, my competition won't work. I
found the guy on band X, and was savvy enough to move him/her to band Y. I
don't want my competitors to freeload on my efforts.
This is a contest, after all. If you want to freeload, stick to DX nets !

Tree,
If we all use the same freq, think of the confusion when we all fire up on
top of one another. When I am asking a guy to move, the first thing I do is
start listening for a good clear spot; usually NOT 050, but high in the band
to get away from the crowd, or low in the band if it is a stateside station
with an Extra Class license (or a VE, for example).
Another key point that ought to be mentioned is that the usual practice for
getting together on the target band is that the specified frequency is a
starting point, if it is busy you move UP the band--not down--and the asking
station is the one who chooses the clear spot and calls the other guy.

BTW I had trouble in NAQP moving people to 10M until I figured out that the
S-Line VFO lost 0.5KC of calibration in the first 5 KC up from the marker
signal at 28.00000 ... which meant I was calling *below* the intended
rendezvous point.

I had not intended to belabor the subject further, but having seen my
call used perjoratively, I rise to my defense with the following points:
1) Apparently from the way I worded my original remarks, many people did
not notice that I said that I always listen to a frequency carefully for
several seconds before trying to use it, and that if it becomes obvious
that it indeed was in use, I move.
2) In my first ten years of contesting, frequency fights were unknown. I
would like to get back to that tradition.
3) Asking "QRL?" is the lazy man's way of determining whether a frequency
is in use. This impatient contester is unwilling to take the time to
listen carefully to see if the frequency is really in use so he calls
"QRL?" immediately upon landing there. If he does not receive a
"politically correct" response, he considers the frequency to be "his"
even though it becomes obvious that it really was in use. ("Well, I
asked and nobody said it was in use.") So then the issue becomes NOT
whether the frequency was really in use or not, but whether the person
using it responded in the proper manner. This is progress?
I was not in the NAQP so I was not a witness to what happened, but N2IC
can rest assured that I would never do to him what he complained about!

Hi All,
Listed below are the NAQP SSB Contest Records for the last 11 contests.
The start date of January 1991 was chosen because the current rules were
put into effect at that time. I thought these might be of interest to many
the NAQP enthusiasts out there who are planning for the upcoming NAQP SSB
Contest, August 19th. These records were compiled from published results
(Jan 95 SSB results will be in the Sep/Oct NCJ) and corrections should be
sent to me for future updates. I hope the formatting of this data doesn't
get too messed up in the translation. I'll post the CW Records next, if
this goes well.

Amen ... however, what about the two radio crowd that was off on another
band working the mult and now comes back to what you thought was a clear
frequency but he considers it his run frequency? instant war ... push

And if someone else was sizing up the frequecny you can bet he will say
yes and promptly start CQing.

"To move or not to move, that is the question" ?
KN5H brings up an interesting point. I can understand his viewpoint, and
those of others who are always being asked to QSY, although living in
Texas it is rare to be asked to QSY. :-)
Someone made a good suggestion about making skeds. It's a good way to
have a pileup waiting for you on a freq. The only potential trouble is
that propagation could change and when you do QSY, you waste time
calling CQ and getting no/little answers. I asked K7UP to move on 2
occasions in the NAQP and Steve obliged both times. The first was from
40 to 20 to 10, taking maybe 90 seconds total. The second was from 160
to 80, taking maybe a minute. It's hard to say if Steve lost rate due to
obliging my requests. As I recall he had many calling on 40, but I asked
anyway. It costs ZERO to ask and being in sales I'm used to "NO". Thanks
for obliging, Steve!
As far as "losing your run frequency" I don't know that I have ever
heard the bands so crowded in the NAQP that you can't find a hole.
That's one of the reasons hopping around is so fun and relatively risk
free, unlike CQWW where there is a lot more VALUE to a [clear] run
frequency than NAQP.
Steve made a point that he was very active on all bands and that others
SHOULD have been able to find him when he was on a band, rather than
having to ask for a QSY later. If I would have had my second radio wired
in, then yes, I probably would have asked fewer people to QSY because
they would have been in the log. Even with 2 radios you can't be
everywhere all the time.
58 of my 566 QSOs (and 58 of 229 multipliers) were the direct result of
a QSY. Those 58 QSOs came about from 32 QSY events, as often I was able
to move a station to 4 or 5 bands. I probably had another half dozen
move attempts that didn't pan out. One of the tricks in August is
deciding the order to QSY, as you want to maximize the multipliers from
the move. I recall many stations got progressively louder as we went
from 20 to 15 to 10 LATE in the contest. I don't think there is a
better/easier operating event for moving people, i.e., making a BIG
impact on your score, than the NAQP.
BTW, at this time my radio/antennas are still under manual control. Hope
to have that straightened out by January !

Whats so terrible about that?
While on Dxpeditions, I often move mults to 060. Its amazing on how
many other people would move mults to that freq. I worked a memorable
amount of mults that way - just bumping into them as I was moving
people myself.
If I was manning the mult station (M/S), I would also pay special
attention to those freqs since I knew people would move their mults
there.

etc...
Sometimes in NAQP I've heard guys setting up a move and followed them, or
listened up the band (.040/.050/.060). Picked up some new mults that way...
