I did, right away,
I asked him if he knew everyone is confused about what he is sending,
Never got an answer tho.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried emailing him. I've never had any problems
working him (he's one of these guys who will call into any pileup), however,
I usually hit the dx cluster with a correct callsign but a lot of folks have
complained about him busting their calls. My guess is that he is using a
code reader and didn't realize his exchange wasn't correct.

Thanks for the clarification, Ken.
After receiving RR, I asked for a repeat and he sent RR again. Wonder if his
sidetone was turned off...

PV8ADI sent "RR" for the first 76 contacts, then switched to KW. Maybe
he had a configuration problem in his software or keyer? His log file
shows
1000 as the sent power for all qsos. The file also lists RR as the
state/province (in the header).
This results a high percentage of busted exchanges *caused by PV8ADI*.
A quick look at the PV8ADI reverse log (a listing of every qso
claiming to work PV8ADI) shows when this happened. Most stations
logged "RR." A few made up a number.
PV8ADI is marked as a log with bad sent exchange info. No one will
receive a busted exchange with PV8ADI.

Thanks, Kenneth. What about "RR"? Heard that one too.....
I think the organizers need to get together and set some kind of
standard on cut numbers for these tests. This is the first time I've
EVER heard TTT as an exchange
Thanks again!

000 is an abbreviation for 1000.
The log checking software will accept a number of abbreviations;
1000, 1K, KW, K, 000, TTT

I worked a guy last night (V43Z) on a couple of bands that was
giving out "TTT" as a power level. I'm savy enough to know that this
is "000", but do I really log this as "000"? He is running NO power?
