Tried again but couldn't work Kan, V47/AB2RF in Nevis. Too many in the pileup and I couldn't get a handle on his operating rhythm, to know when to sneak in a call. One odd thing was when I was trying to call him, he was being QRMed (sort of) by 4X4MU, arguably a better DX catch, I think.
Kan was working split frequency, which is a difficult proposition with the MFJ. The RIT really only moves the receiver about 800 Hz, so you have to make up the difference by tweaking the dial, making the station you're trying to work more difficult to hear.
Maybe next year I will have better luck.
