[Elecraft] The P3 Effect

[Jay]

Having been " out there a few times" I know I spin the dial usually after 
1-2 Q's as dual receivers and other tools brings the pileups to who I just 
worked . I will usually jump the edges, then jump the center and repeat that 
in odd combinations. Today one cannot listen for the gang on one frequency 
very long...so it's always " keep moving"
