I do mostly S&P as I really get worn out trying to sort out replies,
especially when propagation is just right to JA and Eu. There is a bit of
embarrasment when I have to ask for replies..... Won't win any contests,
but have a lot of fun.
My big complaint is the rare DX who never calls CQ (maybe for the same
reason), but runs up the band doing S&P with the CQ guys. Occasionally I
figure out the tuning pattern and park up a bit and call him, but works only
occasionally.
Guess you can't work them if you don't hear them, but can't work them if
they can't hear you.
