N8S transmitted: Instead of threatening blacklisting, RTTY dxpeditions with big pile-ups should make their response calls longer, so calling stations will have a better chance of hearing them. N8S's
Longer exchanges?! You are going to make Bill W6WRT hopping mad again :-) The solution is very simple: look at what the DX is sending and fashion your calls to be shorter. Shannon-Nyquist Sampling Th

Does that mean they have to be 1/2 as long? If so, what should WA9HMN do when the DX comes back to AD1C: AD1C 599 599 AD1C WA9HMN Wa He can probably only send his call once! 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reis
One school of thought is to "work" the guy and "log" the QSO. Just to get rid of him/her. CT and Writelog (possibly others) let you take notes "on the fly" so you could note why this person was or wa

No, because the message itself is not the period. The message plus the dead time (when he is listening) is the period. :-P (Similar to the case where the fundamental frequency of a bit pulse train is
I've lived in 3-land for 25 years and will not change my call, nor sign portable, since I'm not portable. My solution is to not operate contests that erroneously presume that US call districts still

However, short calls have fewer characters to "partial check" against. If you hear .6WR. you have a better chance of figuring out who's calling, rather than ".D1." Granted, I would not trade in my ca

another way is simply do not confirm the contact.. no qsl-- you are not going to shame or "educate" folk that simply dont care who they mess over and continue their, I want(demand) mine and the "H" w
I was also copying last night when N8S lectured several stations and... as painful as it was watching him slowly type out his "Black List" message to the offender... I applauded his strategy. Sure, a

Good one Chen. With that in the mode box they can't use the card for any awards. They get to have their cake but they don't get to eat it! 73, Chris W5CTV ____________________________________________
