I just have an AGN? AGN? macro suitable for any purpose: location, serial numbers, age, name, zone, etc. One size fits all. No one has ever failed to understand it. I have a separate macro for call s
Me too, but I just use AGN AGN. I don't see the need to make it into a question and nobody has ever misunderstood AFAIK. This particular macro can also be used if I miss his call instead of QRZ?. Jer
If I need to know the other guy's state and I send "AGN AGN", I'll get his whole exchange. I don't need his whole exchange, I need his state (or name or time or whatever is appropriate for the contes
Come on everybody. You can be sure he isn't asking for RST repeat. Just as there is no reason to send 599 more than once in an exchange, there is no reason to send 599 when asked for a repeat of any
So I don't get something. If time is of no issue, then why not rag-chew with each station? I see these contests as ... contests, in which the object is to work as many stations as possible. *I* may n
Why send 599 , there one station on Saturday who didnt send 599 , only his call and state, but on Sunday he added the 599 as per the rules. I did not log my contact with him because it was not a ful

Hello Shelby, You are right, I believe we missed each other in this Contest. Regarding the "599", I received "559" a couple of times. Logged the received RST as 559. Wondering if the log he(they) sen
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: With all due respect Shelby, I think you are missing the point of having a reflector vs just sending personal emails. Invariably, topics will come up that individuals may not
I didn't see any in RU this time but I usually see a few in other contests where the RST is not 599. I have seen comments from contest committee members at different times saying that that part of th

N1MM is not so stupid, it will send what you want it to send... 73, Claude VE2FK Just because N1MM, for example, only sends 599 doesn't mean other loggers can't send something other than 599. 73, Lar
