Hi all;
I was enjoying the CQWW-SSB contest and I heard a station working split
(I think!). This is the first radio I have owned that would work split and so
I have never used that technique even though I knew what it was from reading
about it. The bands got a little dead on 40m so I figured that I would try to
understand what this operator was doing and learn something new, but I couldn't
figure it out--thus the question.
The operator was on 7.128.30 (on my dial) and kept saying (exact words)
"this frequency and 'seven zero three three'". Now, I know enough to know this
means that he was listening on this "other" frequency and transmitting on the
one I gave, but I couldn't find it. (Someone might even know who he is just
from the freq., but I didn't put the call in my log and it is not important)
I tried adding 0.7033, 7.033 and 70.33 but I couldn't find anyone
calling him even by just tuning up and down from this freq and listening.
Since he had a really good strong signal I figured that he might be trying to
contact some DX stations in a country that could transmit SSB at 7.033MHz (CW
band) and that way keep low-point U.S. stations from calling him, but there was
nothing on SSB there that I could hear either.
The question is, what was he doing? By saying only "seven zero three
three" he lost me-- 'up 7.033' would seem clearer, but that is not what I heard
during the time I listened to him.
Thanks for any thoughts, and, if I worked you during the contest,
thanks for being so patient with a nervous newbie!
