[CQ-Contest] New tactic for finding a run frequency?

[Barry]

It all depends on the other stations expectations. I, too, prefer the 
wider, 500 Hz, filter, as many stations call off frequency (most 
commonly 100-200 Hz up, rarely down. Anyone know why that is?)  I had 
one instance where I found a clear spot near a band edge on 40 or 
80m, about 500 Hz above a 1-land station. He slides up and asks me to 
move a bit. There's no room up, so I go down about 500 Hz from him. 
He didn't like that either. While a band edge is nice, it wasn't 
worth fighting about, so I went elsewhere.
