Well Larry, don't try to tell me that JT65 doesn't need coordination... No
one does random WITHOUT selfspotting, on the cluster or on a
logger/chatpage. Who would be able to tune every 100 Hz of the band, and
wait a minute for a good decode, plus another minute while the station at
the other end is waiting to be called.. when a rare opening is a few
minutes long.. and to handle a pileup.. geez..

No, I'd rather tune for CW or SSB signals and catch the guys, then put them
in the log feeling I did a good job..
