The problem with the split operation is that some hams simply don't listen or read what the dx-station is telling. Some of the dx op's make things worse.. just saw on 20 meters TI9M asking for calls up up... but taking also on calls on his own frequency. Have worked him two days ago, but he didn't get my call correct and I had no chance to correct him because abot ten stations started to call him on my frequency before we had finished... 73's Erika/DL2AYL
