[Elecraft] split operation et all

I have not actually been following this thread but I should add that 
working split in pileups is an acquired skill. Just managed to grab a 
QSO with ST0R on 17m CW this morning (5W to my bit of string...). In 
this case the pileup was spreading 10kHz up the band and sounded 
fierce. But he was actually listening and working everybody just 1kHz 
up. Once I had realised that and ignored the hoardes calling elsewhere 
it was very quick and easy, less than 5 minutes in all.

On the K2 I sit with one finger hovering over the A/B button listening 
to both the DX and the pileup. I can easily follow who he is working 
and where, and how he is tuning across the pile. Easy peasy, but takes 
time to get familiar with.
