So just send SRI. I for one always try to honor such requests if I am S&P.

I will always say NO to "QSY for points" requests because
1. they seem like manufactured contacts to me,
2. I am following my own plan and this would be a disruption of it,
3. I must walk over to the window patch panel and unscrew coax and screw
on a new band antenna, retune my rig, try to work the guy, and then go back
to install my previous antenna and tune again.
4. I have had a number of failures to make contact in the past when I
would try this... then a total waste, and
5. if I am running, I do not want to break my rhythm or lose my freq.
So, a polite NO. 73, Charly HS0ZCW

Ok, let's open up a new thread...
Something that I have noticed for years is that when trying to get another
CW station to QSY to another band, typically because you need him as a
mult, I will get no response to the "pse QSY to ...such-and-such band"
request.
In last week's ARRL DX CW contest from PJ4X, we tried repeatedly to get
stations to move to other bands, but were more-often-than-not met with the
"deer in headlights" blank stare! In comparing notes over 807's after the
contest, we concluded that if the other station was loud and fast, there
was a
good chance that we would get a successful QSY. Otherwise, generally, no
response at all.
Can it be that so many stations are 1.) not really copying (or can't copy)
the code, 2.) not interested or able to go to another band, or 3.) quickly
moving off the frequency before we can even send the QSY request? With
respect to the last point, we tried different canned QSY requests in our
"TU"
message. We tried "R PSE QSY TO ...", "TU PSE QSY TO ...", and bluntly
"PSE QSY TO ..." My guess is that we got successful responses to less
than
10% of the requests to QSY.
Your thoughts please.
