It's a conspiracy.. First *THEY* fluoridate the water. Then *THEY* cover up
the bombings. Then *THEY* release the vanity calls just in time to sway the
elections. It's all so clear now.. Then .. *THEY* only put 'WV' on a little
over 200 of the 339 electronically files applications.

It's a conspiracy. Ya see, first *THEY* fluoridate the water. Then *THEY*
cover up the bombings. Then *THEY* release the vanity call signs just in
time to sway the elections. It's all so clear now.... Then ... *THEY* only
put "WV" on a little over 200 of the 339 electronically filed applications.

On SSB, when running Europeans, I have a simple rule when called by two guys
at once.
Certain countries' operators have very distinctive operating styles. No matter
who you answer, they will call you anyway. I always try to find the lid and
answer him first. It saves time telling him to QRX while you work the guy you
really wanted.
On CW, I have a preference the weak fast guys. THey always seem to be cool
multipliers. The operating practices on SSB are generally not replicated
on CW. Fortunately.

Doug K1DG
now known as K1DG
p.s. Tree - if you add that preferred-speed database to your program, please
make sure that you make my preferred speed 1 WPM faster than K1AR. Thank you.

I got two -- both from the same guy and for similar reasons. He claimed =
I made a QSO at 3752.2 and 7152.0 on LSB. I recall both contacts and =
was aware of how close I was to the edge. However, I have it in my mind =
that we just need to stay approx 1.5 kHz up from the edge on LSB. Is =
this incorrect?
