John, The split vfo is real handy to find where in the pileup he is currently working. Tracking that info helps to determine whether they are going up or down as well. I found it useful in catching them on 30 and 40 meters. Coy -- ARRL West Gulf Division Director Coy Day, N5OK 20685 SW 29th St Union City, OK 73090 n5ok at arrl.org 405-483-5632
