Calling DX stations dead zero beat on their QRG in a pileup is a no no, yet it
continues to happen. Please call up or down a few hundred HZ so everyone can
hear the DX station respond!
I think a few hundred Hz is too much, unless the band is very
uncrowded. When the band is busy, somebody is running every 300-400 Hz,
so if you call that far off, you're right on top of the next station.
50-100 Hz either way is usually enough to distinguish the beat note,
without causing too much QRM.
