That's why it should be CW only. So the ops can't be identified and the cheerleaders can't spot their team endlessly. Barry W2UP There are other factors. A competitor friend (who placed in the top t
Something screwy with N1MM in WAE (using latest version/Win10). First QSO number sent was 002, not 001. I had no test QSOs logged. Then when sending first set of QTCs, all the numbers were sent as 1

Personally I dont do it, but if you tune across and just hear a callsign, you don't know if that station is calling someone or just ended a cq and is waiting for a call. Barry W2UP Thanks to everyone
