All this QRP talk had me coming up with more nugget of advice on top of the
great suggestions Rick N6RK has already made.
A word of advice especially for QRPers in the Stew, who will mostly be weak
and dodging the static crashes.
If a station sends "W1A??" and you are W1ABC, try sending BC BC BC W1ABC to
see if he gets it.
If he sends LOC LOC or GRID GRID, please please do not repeat the whole
exchange all over again. Like VE9AA de W1ABC 5NN FN41 FN41
Just repeat the FN41 part.
If he sends "FN?? FN?? or FN? Just send the 41 part.
IOW, just send what he asks for. In all likelihood you are weak and he's
having a hard time. Sending it all over again just increases the chances he
or she will miss
the element needed once again.
Have fun out there !
