I had never heard a DXpedition operate that way. For contests I have
heard it but there unless you are a somewhat rare multiplier I am not
likely to remain on frequency waiting for "Now...". A downside of the
skimmer/Now approach is that it tends to encourage constant calling and
DXpeditions rarely need to encourage that kind of behavior. In a list
operation there are breaks usually to know if I am "on the list" so that
there is not the constant calling (or at least, not as much). Running
from the "other side" my MMTTY window looked like a scope trace of a DC
signal with ripple for 3-4kHz and no break when I called someone. They
are no doubt seeing the same thing.

He probably is catching a few calls when he's listening, and got your
call with some others. He worked the other guy and instead of calling
CQ again, he jumps to you, just like you would stack em up in a
contest. Difference is that using the "now" comment is not common by
dxpeditions. Congrats on the catch.

Subject: [RTTY] I may have missed something
I had a new experience today. I had called TU7C several times on 20
trying to crack the EU wall. I switched to listening for about 1.5
minutes without sending and he suddenly called me. That was a bit
strange but it worked. Later on 40 RTTY the op said stay on frequency.
Almost sounded a bit like a list operation which I had not heard on RTTY
before. On N1MMLogger you can do the "Now ..." thing but there was no
"Now" in this case. Anybody else seen this kind of behavior on RTTY?
