Use of a special "channel" for ping requests and ping traffic. This would free up the cq qrg and makes it easier to be heard when calling cq, especially on 20m.73 Jens, DJ2GMS
This is not doable. Lets assume Slot i1 is for Ping
1. If you wait on Slot 1 you are not beaconing on the main CF
2. If you are not beaconing on the main CF, no one knows you are active
3. If no one knows you are there, no one will ping you.
Now one would say "hey - beacon on the CF and swictch to Slot 1 for incomming pings". Here is that secnario:
1. You Beacon on the main CF and switch to Slot 1.
2. Someone hears you on the CF and ping you on slot 1.
3. but as you are not on the main CF, you are not decoding any beacons as atll.
4 which means step #2 can not exists in teh first place as no one is tuned to the CF as they are all on Slot #1. so no decoded beacons and no pings
