Hi, I'd observed during the contest that quite often my running
frequency were reported as being ocuppied by me (LT7H) and by DT7H
who seems to be a seldom used Italian callsign, but most likely a
malformed capture of my callsign during the contest. It happened
either when I was called by scores of non-European fellows (perhaps
looking for an Italian multiplicator), also when I turned off the
"run" mode in N1MM+ and it showed outstanding the DT7H callsign in
the same frequency. Busted calls has always been an unavoidable
feature of the RBN, which is a superb infrastructure resource for
all of us, but the % of busted calls were relatively low and a
manageable issue in my experience. So, after the contest I'd used the
raw data info to evaluate how bad was the problem and the results
seems higher than I would have expected. Sunday numbers were the
worse, the distribution of the problem is:


Hi Pedro,

You better check your equipment. I noticed one time a very bad wideband
transmission with a very bad tone sending LT7H. It was very hard to zero
beat. No wonder that your call got busted. I guess that not so many
people were answering you with such a bad signal. Can you see any gap in
the log appearing at the time when you had a big number of busted spots?

I worked you later and your transmission was then ok so it might be
related with an arcing bad connector.
