Here is another interesting question. Since so many of us QSY to
"pre-set" frequencies, why not try to voluntarily "designate" them as
"QSY" frequencies??? ie: QSY freq's are 50 khz above bottom of band
(except on 160-when it is 25 khz). If the freq. is QRL, the go up 1 (or
up 2 if necessary). It's a problem when people hang on those frequencies
while we are trying to QSY. Freq. could even be "55" rather than "50",
or whatever.
You are commended for the forward thinking, which is one of your
trademarks.
