#2 ALWAYS please! Having spent most of the contest at the other end of the big
pile, I can tell you it is very frustrating to get:
HC8N DE POIQWUEDNCOQIUWSQPOIDJXPQOJDPOQKSQ
Just send your call, and maybe one DE - give me chance to copy YOUR characters
- I already know who I am!
Now, if there is a pileup, leading with the guy's call is a good idea:
<hiscall> <exchange> <yourcall>
This is the time to send both calls - when you have the frequency.
hope this helps! - 73 jeff wk6i
