Hi,  a little off-topic but anyway....
During pile-up to Amsterdam isl. come to idea - what happens if I try to give my call on two or three split frequencies simultaneous. Real split was from 21.081 to 21.120 at least.
Why not whit today's SDR's or advanced SO2R station.  ;-)

It would seem to me that both the caller and DX are subject to being clobbered in the proposal. If I am up 2, the DX calls me up 2, there is no protection if someone else decides up 2 is a good place and begins to call. Depending on the new stations signal strength, propagation, et al, the DX and/or I may get clobbered. Now I suppose if the new station actually listened first he/she might have heard the QSO in progress and wait until we complete before sending. There is probably a better chance under the proposal that the new station would actually listen first but I am not sure I would count on it. Too many times I might call N8PS and the number of stations sending that have none of the characters in their call can be amazing.

In theory today's split leaves the DX on a clear frequency so at least one side of the QSO is clear. Obviously we are discussing this because the theory has some problems.
