[Elecraft] Two Receivers

[Bill Rowlett]

You guys need to read the book “Complete DXer”. It was written by a CW operator but what he talks about works for SSB too.

So I started looking for a pattern; many guys will tune up (or down) a few Hz or kHz and pick another caller.  This didn't seem to be the case either.  After nearly two hours I finally determined his pattern was.... he didn't have one, he randomly tuned after every Q.  I finally picked a relatively clear frequency and called for awhile until he found me.  I queried him about this later and he confirmed.

Your time is better spent learning sequences and planning when and where to call instead of constantly tuning trying to find the last guy worked. Besides all of the other two-receiver guys who don't know any better are going to be calling on the same frequency too.
