The flashing led is a good idea. Our visual system seems to be
programmed to pick up movement, that is perhaps why some might find it
irritating. How many times is something invisible until it moves.
However, the bigger problem I feel, illustrated yet again by the recent
K1N operation is that too many folks just don't understand the concept
of DXpedition split working. There was an almost constant conveyor belt
of callers lined up on the K1N TX frequency, seemingly oblivious to the
cops chasing the one before them off, they did exactly the same thing
one after the other. You can provide all the split indications you like
until you are blue in the face but if callers don't figure out they need
to go split in the first instance, don't understand UP, nothing is
gained. Education on how most DXpeds operate would reduce the current
chaos. Accidents will happen, been there, done that, but that is what
they will be, accidents not wilful.
