Your absolutely right Don.  Before calling, every station should
take a bit of time and see what the DX station is doing.  I've
seen some work the station and move up (or down) just a bit.  It
doesn't do any good to call the station on the last guys freq as
there are probably a hundred others doing the same thing.  If he
tunes up, move up just a little and call.  Usually they move up
to a certain frequency then start to move down.  It doesn't take
long to figure a pattern, then you've got the advantage over lots
of stations calling blindly. Always listen for a while first. 
Cuts down on lots of QRM. 73
