Huh? As I stated earlier, out here with the QRM and crowding if you
are not darn close to zero beat you risk not being heard. There is
no point in calling if you are going to be under the big gun on
either side of the station you wish to work. If you are referring to
possible problems with two or more calling the same station and zero
beat with each other, it CAN be a problem IF both stations are near
the same strength. Otherwise I find it no problem to pick the
stronger one, work him, then go after the other(s). It is much
faster and easier if all callers are zero beat or very close than if
they are all over the place and under the adjacent QRM.
