Yo TopBanders,
Split frequency would be ideal in many situations, but really only
works in 2 types of activity: One where you are a desired Big Dog Gun
(tm) and can hold a frequency while chaos whirls around you (contest) or
you are a desired DX station with a bunch of callers who understand what
*up* means.
It would only take 2 "simplex" Q's at FT5XO before I had to go
split. To do otherwise was to have a rate (Q's per hour) less than my
speed (wpm). And I didn't get on TopBand from there when the
propagation was good..the Good Ops were on then..
It's mostly all good!
73 and I remain,
Lew W7EW/W7AT
