[CQ-Contest] Split operation in contests

[Tony Rogozinski]

If I can maximize my rate and also give many more people a QSO from a rare multiplier (been there and done that many times) who is to say that listening
off my transmit frequency isn’t good operating practice.  When one is operating from one of those ultra rare locations it is virtually impossible to work
stations on your own frequency as the pile up builds.  I think that many who have been commenting on the subject have never been on the other side
of a pile up as such.  Most of the time when the pile up grows I start moving the RIT and pick up stations who are a bit off zero beat and keep moving 
it – normally up – until I am listening a 1 or maybe 2 KHZ off my transmit frequency.  Sorry but that’s just the way it works.  The Big Brothers seem
to want to control everything we do in life nowadays,  however,  since I’m an individualist,   “I’ll do it my way”.
