Having been " out there a few times" I know I spin the dial usually after
1-2 Q's as dual receivers and other tools brings the pileups to who I just
worked . I will usually jump the edges, then jump the center and repeat that
in odd combinations. Today one cannot listen for the gang on one frequency
very long...so it's always " keep moving"

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] The P3 Effect
Perhaps this is why DXpeditions seem to play "spin the dial" more; having
many stations converge on the last rx frequency probably tends to slow
their rate. I experienced this effect at PZ5RO. It would be interesting
to get feedback from DXpedition ops.

Has anyone else noticed just how many people are now able to pounce on
the last frequency TX5K used? Back in the day you swapped VFOs and
listened for the calling station. After I got my P3 it seemed to be a
real advantage because you could instantly find the calling station (if
you could hear him). Now so many people do this it seems to almost be a
requirement to have a P3 or panadapter of some sort. Of course, I could
be wrong.
