There is nothing more aggravating than listening to somebody calling cq
over and over and never listening.
so you can give them a call. you give them a couple of dits to try and get
them to listen and they just keep on calling GRRRRRRRRR.

Hi,
I've had several useful suggestions including moving a short way up the
band. I already knew hams in other countries don't have the same
frequency allocations we do. I was trying to stay out of the way for the
DX chasers (and the DX). Maybe I just got some bad advice about that.
I'm going to start using a little more range of motion in my wrist on
that VFO. I have been staying below 1810.
There were some comments about a too long string of CQs. I don't like
long CQs, either but 6 to 10 isn't all that long (I've heard some that
ran to 30 or 40 (or more)) and when the fish are scarce you have to move
the bait more. I'm going back to my 3X2 and see if that helps. I am,
however going to still sip my coffee and pet the dog between strings
<grin>.
73,
Bill KU8H
