Then you are unlikely to find a Q from me in your log. When I abandon or
lose my run QRG, I will usually make an S&P "mult harvesting" sweep across
the band before establishing a new run QRG. If I quickly ID your station
(in 1 exchange) I will work you. If I need to wait a full minute (several
Qs) to ID you, I'll have already worked 3 or 4 other stations up band from
you. I win --- you lose.
