One more time..
List posting level limit has now been reached for this thread on key

this thread is ENDED for now in the interest of lowering the ambient

For a couple of years now, since getting K3 #145, I've had the impression
that activity in the big contests like CQWW has been dropping off because
now I don't seem to have problems finding a run frequency. Obviously it's
all down to the K3:-)

Even with a lesser receiver, I allow plenty of frequency spacing between
myself and another station on CW, recognizing that the other station may not
have superb selectivity. Around the CW QRP frequencies, I often allow a full
kHz and several hundred Hz on other frequencies.

Are you recommending in a CW contest that one not engage in running if
one cannot find a space with an open kHz above and an open kHz below?

Common contest practice in recent decades is 500 kHz between signals
regardless of folks without filters. And that seems to be squeezing
down to 400 and

Hi John,
While I agree with much of your argument, there could be a price to pay in
the form of Equipment Type Approval.if further regulations were imposed on

My suggestion of a kHz was for operating near the QRP frequencies where
simple receivers and rock-bound transmitters are often in use.
As I said, I use less spacing in other parts of the band after a QRL?
although I always listen with a wide bandwidth for those with

I had the same thing happen several times. I'd call QRL? on what for me
was a totally open frequency and get a RR reply from someone way off
the side that I could only hear by virtue of their bad key clicks. One
