NAQP QSY TECHNIQUES

[BK1ZX70SFL at aol.com]

I guess i am missing something...my ole KC keyer has 4 memories and one was
loaded with:
pse QSY to 28050 nw ok ? bk

....and the others were 21050/3550/1830....mebbe my approach was wrong and i
should manually send with a paddle "same vfo"...oh well, the paddle is still
necessary i guess :-)

The only problem with "pre-set" QSY frequencies is that when they are in use
it undermines the purpose of the QSY request. You want to make it fast, so
you pick a frequency that is empty. QSYs in NAQP are often marginal, running
low power to a band with little propagation and you probably wouldn't make
the QSO if you didn't know what you were listening for. I had a few
occasions where I thought I picked a clear QSY frequency, but it turned out
not to be the case and I couldn't make the QSO. Finding the QSY frequency is
busy and moving up one or two just isn't going to be productive, cause the
guy you are moving isn't going to have the patience to look for you.
