Hi,
I have been mostly chasing DX and have been "up in the air" about using
the /4. I lets the person know that I am in 4 land but that is about it.
Most of the time for DX it doesn't matter to the DX station. Problem is
when the DX calls for the "4's" am I ok to jump in the pile. HI....
This has caused some problems as one DX station would not work me because
I jumped in with the /4 and he said I was a 9 and didn't get in the log.
When he got to the 9's he wouldn't respond to me. (Selective hearing??? HI.)
I know that contesting is a little different and guess will have to look
at the particular contest to see if it makes a difference like Bill and Bob
indicated.
Side note here, is that sometimes there is a problem with the qsling part as
I get "Not in log" because I didn't put /4 on the call when submitting. The
log search did not pick up the call right. Might keep this in mind when
qsling...
