And EXACTLY the same things can be said about DXing -- LISTEN, THINK, 
LISTEN, and THINK. Try to figure out where he's listening, what his 
patterns are, try to time your calls when you can fit between stronger 
stations, try to fit them between louder stations, make your calls short 
enough that you are certain that you're not stepping on someone he's 
trying to work. I always dump my call in twice as fast as I can, listen, 
then once, then listen, and so on.

You don't need to be looking at anything on the radio but the spectrum 
display, and the indicator that split is turned on. :) Everything else 
is between your ears!
