QSY and CQ

I said..

>>1kHz???  This doesn't sound very aggressive to me.  Since I use two stages of 
>>250 Hz filters, I'd never even know you were 1 kHz down (especially since there 

Obviously 1 kHz refers to phone contests, since that was a point in Tree's original 
post. In a CW test it's more like 200-300 Hz.

>>What I 
>>usually do when trying to steal a run frequency is go below the target about 600 Hz 
>>and then inch up on him.  If I can get a bunch of responses, that usually cinches it.  

Agreed. A common tactic, again more useful on phone. If you did that to me on CW
I'd just shift my passband or something.
