The comments about guys responding off freq reminds me of when I was on
a mini-dxpedition to KH9 back in the early 80s. A friend recorded about
30min of my cw pileup and there was one WB8 who called for at least 20
minutes, with a good signal, who was out of my passband. I learned from
that to try to zero beat and if not getting thru, move around in the
pileup...pretty elementary stuff now but was a 'ahah' back then. I do
like the idea of setting up split with my transmit freq locked into VFO
B and use the big knob rather than the RIT to tune for those guys a
little off freq. The other danger of being off freq is, if I hear you, I
will work you, unfortunately, you may have been working someone I cannot
hear and our contest exchange timing may have been perfect. Later in the
contest, you may show as a worked b4 in my log. Of course the SS
exchange (long) pretty much excludes the quick 5NNA3 of the CQWWCW.
Looking fwd to using the K3, soon.
