Hi John - Suggestions:
1. Never send faster than you can copy. The other guy may be sending
too fast for his own good, and busting your call in the process.
2. Make sure you hear the other guy send your call, and that your call
correct. If he miscopied it, try getting confirmation of correction
BEFORE you send an exchange. For example,
You: K5IUA
Him: K5EVA 5NNA4
You: K5IUA ?
Him: K5IUA 5NNA4
You: TU 5NNT4
2a. If he doesn't confirm the correction, don't log it!
3. Don't be afraid to say PSE QRS.
Even the best ops bust calls from time to time. For example, I had a
NIL from HC8N in last CQWW CW.
