Tree,
Nothing weird about it! Years ago, when JA-s had to be
worked split (you had to listen around 1910), I could
easily work 10 to 20 JA-s in a contest. Now that they are
mixed-in with everybody else, I am lucky to be able to
work 5 (from FL)! Operating split would work if many
stations did it and it was common knowledge. The key
challange, however, will be keeping the RX window open.
Another thought: start working split for regular QSO-s. It
may be cumbersome at the beginning, but perhaps the idea
will take-off and operators get used to it over time.
Perhaps we should set up some tests.
Lets see what the Europeans say about this.
73,
