[RTTY] To SO2R contesters (f6fdr question)

Hello Pat. I hope I understand your question correctly. There is usually no correlation of frequencies between bands (example
21082-21085 & 28082-28085, etc) when running SO2R, at least for me. Strategically at the start of a contest I like to be low (28081,
21081, 14081, etc) on each band. But as time goes on, I find myself anywhere there is a clear frequency. Sometimes being up high in
the band is better because it's less crowded. So I could be at 28081 and 21115 kHz at the same time). The only time I will be at
specific locations on the band, other than the start, is when I am on 20 and 40 meters at the same time. Because of the first
harmonic, if I am operating high on 40 meters (7080 or above), I will be low on 20 meters (14080). If I am low on 40 meters (7040),
I have high on 20 meters (above 14100).

73, Don AA5AU

Subject: [RTTY] To SO2R contesters (f6fdr question)

Hi friends this message is a question to SO2R and big gun contesters. When I make a RTTY contest I have in mind to make the qso(s)
with some friends I use to meet during competitions. And, as a non assisted entrant, I ask to myself many questions which
(theorically) should help me to find these friends on the bands. The most important question when I find a (supposed to be) SO2R
entrant is : what is his second qrg ??
I try to get the psychology of a winner (hard stuff) and say to myself : " well If I could be an SO2R entrant I should try to have
the weakest delta between (ie) my 15m qrg and  my 10 m one". So If I think to be able to find K4GMH, usually between 21082 and
21085, may be I'll find him also either around 28082 / 28085 or between 14082 14085 (according to the day and qtr).
I would be interested in being  confirmed or not in this idea. Sorry if this question has already be answered and if I prefer a
human answer rather than analyzing spots lists.
73 to all pat f6fdr
