Whenever I work the QRP frequencies, I assume the other station may be rock-bound or using a very simple direct-conversion receiver that has no offset control so their transmit frequency is off of their receive frequency by the frequency of the beat note.
I always assume they may be spread out as much as 1 kHz. If I call CQ, I tune up a kHz or two and down a kHz or two listening for calls. Also, when running QRO I stay at least 1 kHz above or below the QRP frequency to avoid 'stepping on' a QRP operator using a simple receiver with minimal selectivity. That's a nice feature of 30 meters. Once can only crush 200 watt rocks there, Hi! 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hello, Hams using the little Rock-Mite 500mw pocket radios are a bit below the usual frequencies, mostly around 7029 and 14059, CW. There are about 9000 of these floating around...
