Another, more common question: What if the folks don't have
dual receive? Or more to the point, if they're not monitoring
now, what makes anyone think they will start monitoring?

REPLY:

I don't see that as a problem. Just sit on your (clear) frequency until one of thee things happens:
1. The DX works you.
2. Some one moves in on your frequency, so  you QSY.
3. You get tired and give up.

The DX spots usually tell you when he goes QRT.

One advantage to QYF is you are constantly monitoring your own frequency to make sure it remains clear. If QRM appears, you can QSY immediately instead of wasting time competing with him.
