[CQ-Contest] PSE QSY - Deer in headlights

[Joe]

Plus if the band is not open to that area of the request, And you should 
know if it is or not. Yet the person really begs for the band change, do 
it just like a dupe,, say OK,

he goes away and tries to work you but you stay where you are.


If the band is not open the request should not have been made in the 
first place, and they deserve to waste their time looking for you on a 
band that does not have propagation between you.

I really don't care for theblatant request that is repeated and repeated for QSY to a band thatis NOT open, and hasn't been open for hours. ESPECIALLY when theresponse to the explanation, (at 35 - 40 wpm - if they can ask "at speed" they SHOULD be able to COPY the response at that speed) is ignored, not just once,but two or three times. It ALMOST gets easier, and leaves more points in my log, if I say "Yes, meet me"And let them spend the time finding out the band is not open. I already spent that time.
