Thanks for posting this, Phil. Great info there, especially the advice
not to call on the last station's frequency. I wish ALL DXPeditions
would adhere to that.
One comment I would make to the DX however: Unless you have a RX with
exceptional dynamic range, do not use the waterfall. Using the
waterfall means you have to open up your RX bandwidth far beyond what
is desirable for good communication, and your AGC is going to wipe out
the weak ones. Instead, keep your bandwidth between 250-350 Hz and
tune by hand, using the crossed ellipses.
A waterfall is fine for ragchewing on a Sunday afternoon, but it is a
serious detriment in a band crowded with high power signals.
