[SECC] K4BAI Claimed Score NAQP CW

[James Boddie]

Very interesting info.  What is the protocol for requesting a QSY to a different band, say on CW?  Is I something like:

Running Station first exchange acknowledgment: TU PSE QSY 14R035? BT
S&P station: R R QSY BT

Does the running station then start CQing on 14.035?

or something else?

I do that until I run across a clear freq and then try to get run again. I understand from a pervious topic on SO2R that I should be S&P on another band while calling CQ on another... just need to get that all setup

I usually have dual-watch on so I can see whats going on - it's usually watching 10m but I switched it to 160m saturday night and saw the activity so I switched over and got some contacts. . . my antenna is not optimum so not everyone could hear me but that's a different topic...  If I had taken the time,  I would have had it setup to monitor a 3rd band using an SDR app on the PC. I've had it running before, just didnt think to get it setup for NAQP. That would give me visibility into two additional bands and make switching between them easier.

I never really thought to ask others to QSY for their multiplier bc I'm just not efficient enough to do that... without impacting my rate and their rate.. . .
