[RTTY] Need a better strategy

[Ron Kolarik]

There was a 7O, not the one of current interest, doing just that a few weeks
back. He was calling CQ UP and then answering on YOUR frequency. Made
it a bit hard to tell when to call him as he would call CQ UP on the just worked
frequency.....had to chase him all over but he never went more than about 5-7 Khz
from his original QRG before starting over. A lot like working a sprint, it was fun
watching the pile move all over the place but I'm sure it upset a few people :)

You know, that's not a bad idea.
The DX calls CQ on one frequency, 14080, but says he will answer you on your frequency 
(but NOT this one). He would hop around working stations on their frequency simplex 
until the pileup thins out, then call CQ on 14080 again. He could announce an area 
limitation.


Is there a Q signal for that? How about QYF meaning I will answer on your frequency?


Like: CQ NA CQ NA QYF QYF K

When he goes QRT he would announce that too of course.


I need to think this through some more but I think I like it. :-)
