MY .02
Living in the umbrella of the FRC. With first a two meter call out system,
then the Packet Cluster, now the avalanche of information fed to you, as an
operator you have decisions to make.
S02R's are always scouring the other bands for contacts ( some can on the same
band) and when a you run across a juicy Mulp, With a Big pile up or unruly
pile up, your not getting through in one or two calls dose not always happen.
As a operator you have a decision to make. spend the time to work the guy,
chancing the fact you my loose your run frequency or pay focused on you run
freq. and switch you listening frequency now and again to the Mulp
Then how long is LONG enough two " Ditty Dum Dum Ditty's two QRL's ? I
have stacks on all bands 4 sq's on low band and listening arrays and after two
or three ? ? ?... or three QRL's is this frequency in use . This is a open
FREQUENCY IMHO , and Yes.. when I chase or am focused on a Mulp and away
from my run Frequency ( single radio dual VFO ) and when I switched back to
my A VFO audio wow K5$% was now calling CQ..... My bad I move
I lost my RUN frequency. but when I am set up for SO2R and have AB
split in RE/LE I'll defend my run Frequency when I hear a ditty dum dum ditty
and if I don't that's my fault.
