Topband: Why the DX doesn't always work split? Especially low bands.

[Mark Lunday]

Also, the operator may not be able to hear the large number of stations
calling him.

I think we are talking about Murtada, 9K2MU, who has been on 80 for the past
two nights simplex.

Murtada is a very experienced DXer, and I think he was not hearing a lot of
the stations because of local QRM.  He even mentioned this as a problem,
which is why he probably did not consider the need to go split.

Just my 2 cents.
