[Elecraft] Off topic: help me with CY0MM?

[tlogan7@cox.net]

Hi folks -=20
1) This is off topic....but you folks are like on-line friends.
2) I acknowledge I'm not a DX'er. All my experience with cw is ragchews =
(been a ham a bit over 2 years) and I have to really concentrate to copy =
20wpm. I seldom do SSB.
3) I have never entered a contest or "busted a pileup".
3) I would like to make a contact with CY0MM.

Now that I have confessed, can some one help me? I'm really confused. I =
go to a site like DX Summit which tells me that CY0MM is on 21.030. I =
then go to 21.030. I hear a lot of cw but it's pretty jumbled and almost =
impossible to sort out. I never do here the call sign CY0MM. I see =
someone on DX summit says QSX 21.031.6.  Now I'm totally lost. Does this =
mean I listen and transmit at 21.030 or 21.0316? I REALLY want to make =
this contact:

1) - What will CY0MM be sending? What should I listen for?
2) - How should I respond? Do I just send my call sign when it sounds =
like a lot of others are doing the same?
3) - Can some one walk me through exactly how this works.......the =
exchange, what freq I listen on  and send on etc? This split stuff has =
me baffled as well. Sorry to sound like a moron, but I'm humbled and =
need help. Thanks folks!
