Over the last couple weeks a number of students asked about Split (QSX) operations, and I pointed them to this short post I did for my children a couple years ago:
LINK: Doing the Split – QSX Operations Here you are, tuned to say 14190 and faintly you hear a far away country – an operator with an uncommon call sign – answering, giving reports, and running contact after contact, but you NEVER hear the station he is talking to. You never hear them whether they are nearby or even further away from the rare but on the same heading as you are.
What is going on? The away station – the DX Statio should I say – is running Split Operation. Though he is broadcasting on 14190 he is LISTENING on another frequency. ...... full article at the link above. 73 Steve K9ZW BLOG: With Varying Frequency - Amateur Radio Ponderings |

Just checked and they are working from here, but perhaps the Wordpress world was wonky for a while today.
