I am not asking to add anything to the exchange or have WL send extra info. I
just want a window that shows me the other op's name in case I want to be
friendly and say hello! Or call him by name when I am asking him to QSY. 😊
NS3T's use with SSB is a special case and I am very happy WL can make that
possible.

A station's rate is highly dependent on operators at both ends of QSO I think
this question, should we add name thing to non-rtty contests is directly
related to being locked up too long due to virus....
your question, as I understand it, was for modes other than RTTY NON-RTTY (CW
OR SSB contest):
If I'm working P40W or 8P5A or ZF1A in ARRL CW in prime time, as example
send characters to Winkey to step up CW speed, send "5NN TX" for the exchange,
change CW speed back
Hard core and friendly, those contesters are ripping rates I'm helping whoever
is on other end to up rate meter and not break stride and I qsy sooner to next
spot Now if I want PJ2T to win, then OK I'd send "HI insert longest version of
op's name" every exchange except with PJ2T .....
Sending name would be considered not Friendly, perhaps near criminal!!
Friends don't slow Friends down
although - my experience has been, those that send name are usually new to
game... fine, Hello glad to work you and tnx for qso...
between friends, work it out, like the "KB" sending
I have stopped and talked to a youth to encourage them while at P4 - A Mentor
in next room wondered about that as I was in a (very) high rate moment.
RTTY comment, I can't keep all the message memories straight already, so me
having message and then duplicated message with KB doesn't work for me. a few
simple messages
Probably same for different message with name, I'm going to go to keyboard mode
to handle it, at that point, My friend just slowed me down and broke run stride
If you call me on RTTY 5NN MA is fine - I really smile when your call goes in
log
but your question, as I understand it, was for modes other than RTTY
Working someone clocking 200+/hr I'm going to help propel the rate machine
with short exchange
but don't get judges to jump in and "Regulate" name calling.... hi
