It can only work if the DX signal is strong enough. However in most cases
the DX is weak, while callers are way stronger and numerous. Hence the whole
idea of split. Copying a weak DX signal on "your" frequency but in the
middle of the wall of very strong overlapping callers' signals might be a
challenge.

Keep in mind, this is how jammers work these days, and not just RTTY.
They pretend to be a legitimate station that is just "confused" shall we
say, ignoring all "UP" messages. They may use the call of someone they don't
like, hoping they will get a pile of hate mail.
I know I'm swimming against the tide, but my suggestion to have the DX
answer on YOUR frequency would solve this. The DX station would call CQ and
end with QYF, meaning "your frequency", then work stations for about five
minutes or so, then go back to the CQ frequency and do it again. Jammers and
non-split operators now become harmless. I think it's worth a try but it
will need the backing of a major DXPedition.
Who will be the first?
