[RTTY] I may have missed something

[Larry]

I had never heard a DXpedition operate that way. For contests I have 
heard it but there unless you are a somewhat rare multiplier I am not 
likely to remain on frequency waiting for "Now...". A downside of the 
skimmer/Now approach is that it tends to encourage constant calling and 
DXpeditions rarely need to encourage that kind of behavior. In a list 
operation there are breaks usually to know if I am "on the list" so that 
there is not the constant calling (or at least, not as much). Running 
from the "other side" my MMTTY window looked like a scope trace of a DC 
signal with ripple for 3-4kHz and no break when I called someone. They 
are no doubt seeing the same thing.
