I've not ever really worked a split DX station and ever since getting the K1 I've been working on building up my CW skills. I've gotten to where I can get the jist of the info at 14WPM w/ 20WPM char speeds.
I've heard frequencies where it seems like nothing is going on and then all of the sudden 10 stations light up. I'm assuming that this is a split DX and I'm only hearing half of it. But anyway it doesn't make much sense to me. So granted a station can listen to both frequencies at once and I'm sure transmitting station is probably only listening when he's not transmitting (unless he has two separate radios and two separate antennas). This just seems like a waste of bandwidth especially if he's not doing full duplex. Is there a common split distance so that one may easily find the other half or do people usually just go digging till they find it? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
