Excellent post, Hasan. We try to practice this out here in NorCal as well. BUT -- during the summer, it's quite common for propagation to change quickly, and if you're running in one sequence, you can miss an opening where stations are on the opposite sequence. Good ops will pause now and then to listen to their own TX sequence. And when I hear a good op switch sequence, I pause to do that.

The serious ops on both bands where I use these modes, 160M and 6M, use good radios and power amps that produce clean signals and don't get blown away by strong signals. So while we try to stay on the same sequence, we WILL switch to work a rare grid on 6M, and because we set audio drive to the computer for decode just below digital clip on the strong local, we are still able to decode weaker stations during that local's TX.
