If this means that you reply to the CQer on his offset without checking to see whether anyone is using that offset on the cycle opposite to the CQer, then you are doing what I stated earlier: you are transmitting on a frequency without knowing whether or not it is already in use. I don't see how that can be considered good operating practice.

If you're not transmitting on the CQer's opposite cycle without first looking at the waterfall to see whether it is in use, then my "charge" of transmitting without first "listening" would not apply.

With that, this is WS4C signing clear. :-)
