LS, 
Some PSK31 decoding software is designed to simultaneously copy multiple PSK31
signals, each on a separate line. I've used Digipan for years. When it decodes
the letters "CQ" from a station, the entire line background color changes from
white to another color on each line with a "CQ' in it. So even a 1x1 CQ will
show up boldly using Digipan. Other software may also have this feature. A
simple click on that line will quickly put you on the correct frequency to
answer the CQ. If you haven't yet used Digipan, give it a try. It's a free
download from www.digipan.net .
