it's cool to be a unique mult in a WPX contest, though it is a bit overrated -
seems like 80-90% of the calls are mults - I wouldn't use that as the main
reason for choosing a call, but ok as a side benefit...
I am not much of a CW contester, but in dx pileups the two dits at the end of
my call just don't seem to ever get lost - maybe it's just the fact that enough
of the two quick dits get thru, where one dit is not. In any case the
ITALY-INDIA thing is a bit of a bother in phone tests and pileups.
Just do RTTY contesting and you won't have any issues...;-) 73 - jeff wk6i
