Dear Doug: Something much like that happened to me. While trying to
contact them on 15 CW (where they were just weak) I punched in the 24 MHz
SSB frequency (where they were too weak to work in a pileup) only to hear an
announcement (by the operator) of the frequency where the operator was going
to listen. It would have been futile to have tried in a pile up. I gave
him a 34 (or some such) and he replied that I was a "true" 59. Hard to
explain.

FWIW, the count of different calls with which 3Y0X has been spotted on
DX Summit is now up to at least five, not counting 3Y0X...

Got 'em on 20CW about an hour ago.

Lucked out. Heard the op send not just "UP" but "UP 2" -- it so happens
my rig is set up such that if I hit SPLIT it automatically sets up a
2KHz split. Punched it once to clear the "wrong" split, again to get it
on +2, hit the paddles -- and worked 'em on the second call.

Sometimes you just get luckygrin!
