Split Operation

• Station Transmits on one Frequency and listens at a different place

• "Listen Frequency" can be a single one or a range

• Most will listen "Up" but can be "Down" as well

• Typical split scenarios:

• CW or RTTY – up 1 (Listening up 1 KHz or in a range starting there)

• SSB – up 5 or up 5 to 10 (Listening up 5 KHz or in a range starting there)

• Strategies for working a split station

• Set you receiver to the DX's Tx frequency, enable split and use XFC or a second

receiver to tune through the stations Tx range

• Find the last station worked – open your receive filter up for CW, listen for 5NN

• Try to pattern the operator and select the best place to call

• Consider that operator may be working the edges of the pileup (CW) or may be

looking for someone "in the clear"
