I find I have the same experience, and I typically run 20w on PSK. I have no clue as to why that happens. I have pretty good luck at getting QSOs when I respond to CQs, but I rarely see anyone responding to my own CQs.
I have noticed that the longer my CQ string, or the more I repeat it, the more frequently I get a response to the CQ. I've also noticed a lot of stations that repeat their 3x3 CQs at least two or three times before they get an answer. >>Panadapter? >>You can see most of the PSK section of any band on the software's >>waterfall....Assuming you're using software ie. MIXW etc. Just because I can see it on the waterfall doesn't mean that I have any idea if it's a CQ or not. And if it's a short CQ, by the time I click over to it, it's gone. A couple of products (e.g., Digipan) show you the text from multiple transmissions at a time, but not all the major products do that (e.g., DM780).
