[Elecraft] Split operation

[Mike Harris]

The flashing led is a good idea.  Our visual system seems to be 
programmed to pick up movement, that is perhaps why some might find it 
irritating.  How many times is something invisible until it moves.

However, the bigger problem I feel, illustrated yet again by the recent 
K1N operation is that too many folks just don't understand the concept 
of DXpedition split working.  There was an almost constant conveyor belt 
of callers lined up on the K1N TX frequency, seemingly oblivious to the 
cops chasing the one before them off, they did exactly the same thing 
one after the other.  You can provide all the split indications you like 
until you are blue in the face but if callers don't figure out they need 
to go split in the first instance, don't understand UP, nothing is 
gained.  Education on how most DXpeds operate would reduce the current 
chaos.  Accidents will happen, been there, done that, but that is what 
they will be, accidents not wilful.
